About this event

Thanksgiving is America's holiday and Plymouth is the heart of this national celebration. This November, come home to Plymouth. Based on the menu that was served at the Harvard Club after President Lincoln declared Thanksgiving a National Holiday, this plated meal features classic roast turkey and all the traditional New England trimmings.

Enjoy the company of your family and friends for a Thanksgiving experience like no other. When you arrive, we'll greet you and personally help you find your table. Once seated, a Museum Educator and Historical Performer will regale our dinner guests with thought-stirring, inspiring remarks. People come from around the country and the world to be at Plimoth Patuxet for this special meal.
