What do we know about the “First” Thanksgiving in Plymouth in 1621, and how has this story been told ever since? This program presents an historical perspective, as well as an illustrated look at how this holiday has been portrayed in American art through the centuries. Learn about the myths that grew around the meaning of Thanksgiving, especially after it became a national holiday in 1863. This program will be held at the Durant-Kenrick House and Grounds with a simultaneous livestream on Zoom. Suggested donation, $10; Historic Newton members, $5. Register here.
