Make Plans to Dine with the Pilgrims this Thanksgiving

New York City may have the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. But, Plimoth Plantation hosts the ultimate Thanksgiving event. You have the chance to dine just as the Pilgrims did in 1621! What better way to celebrate the holiday? And it’s not all about turkey and dressing either. You can tour the Mayflower II, stroll through a recreated 17th century village (complete with Pilgrims), and visit with the Wamponoag Indians before feasting!

There are 3 unique Thanksgiving feasts to choose from. Each has their own take on the holiday, but all serve the traditional roast turkey.

•1627 Harvest Dinner with the Pilgrims – Here’s your opportunity to feast with the Pilgrims, circa 1627. Turkey, mussels, native corn, fish, fruit, and cheesecake are on the menu. While you eat, the Pilgrims will entertain with stories about the 1st Thanksgiving, sing songs, and even ask you to join in the fun. Now keep in mind, these Pilgrims still believe it’s 1627. They have no idea about electricity, cars, cell phones, or television. It makes the conversations quite entertaining! Held on select days in October and November

•America’s Thanksgiving Dinner – Held during Thanksgiving Weekend, enjoy a classical Thanksgiving feat with Roast Turkey and all the delicious New England trimmings. Pilgrims and Indians are on hand to greet you and talk about the very 1st Thanksgiving. The menu includes Wood Pressed Cider, Split Pea Soup, Roast Turkey, Traditional Stuffing with Bell Seasoning, Cider Cake, Indian Pudding, Apple Pie, and Pumpkin Pie. Held on November 24th and November 25th

•Thanksgiving Day Buffet – The Pilgrims and Indians do not make an appearance at this buffet, but you still get to dine where the Pilgrims once did. The menu is similar to what you would serve at home – Roast Native Turkey with Giblet Gravy, Cornbread Stuffing, Mashed Potatoes, Cranberry Sauce, Cranberry & Pumpkin Breads, and Apple & Pumpkin Pie. An added bonus - you can tour the Mayflower before or after you feast! Held on November 24th.

All Thanksgiving dinners include admission to Plimoth Plantation and all the attractions. If you’re interested, make reservations quick! This is one of the most popular events in the region and sells out relatively fast. For more details, visit www.plimoth.org/dining-functions/thanksgiving-dining-special-events.
