Additional Information

Discover how rural New Yorkers celebrated Thanksgiving in the 1840s at The Farmers' Museum on November 28th from 10AM - 4PM. The event is free to the public.

You will see traditional Thanksgiving foods prepared over the open hearth at the rustic Lippitt Farmhouse. Look in on the heritage-breed turkeys and take part as they are herded across the village green. Participate in chores on the farm and admire Red and Rusty, our team of oxen in training.

Ride the Empire State Carousel, or just enjoy a peaceful walk around the museum's historic village. You can also learn about unusual 19th-century digestive medicines as they are created at Dr. Thrall's Pharmacy. The blacksmith and printer will be practicing their trades too, just as they did in the 1840s.
