According to the English calendar, it was the autumn of 1621. For the Wampanoag, it was Keepunumuk, the time of the harvest. In a small colony on the edge of the sea, more than 90 Wampanoag men shared food with 52 colonists. Over the centuries, the story of this gathering was lost, recovered, told and retold. More than two hundred years after it occurred, this three-day celebration would be called the 'First Thanksgiving,' and an American myth would be born.

The Education Department invites you to take part in a lively full-day workshop exploring the events of 1621. The workshop features visits to the museum's living history sites, hands-on activities, presentations by museum staff, working groups using primary sources and, best of all, a meal of period Wampanoag and English foods! Plimoth Plantation is a certified Massachusetts Professional Development Provider and our programs are aligned with Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks. This workshop is suitable for teachers of all grade levels. Participants will be awarded 10 Professional Development Points.

Join us and you just may never look at Thanksgiving the same way again!
