November: What’s In Season

The Thanksgiving story most of us know begins in 1621, when Pilgrims in Plymouth and the Wampanoag people shared a meal celebrating a successful harvest.

In 1863, Thanksgiving was established as a national holiday and today, Thanksgiving remains a time to gather and reflect on our blessings, honor the history and perspectives of Indigenous Americans, and celebrate the bounty of the season.
