Harvesting History

Description

The day after Thanksgiving is the perfect time to visit Connecticut's own Pilgrim-era museum. Handle reproduction English and Native American trade items, sample foods common in New England in the 1600s, write with a quill pen to ''Make Your Marke,'' listen to readings of the Pilgrim Cat storybook each hour, and take self-guided tours of the 1639 Whitfield House and the Holidaze exhibit. Included with admission. Free parking.
