MILTON - New Hampshire has a special connection to Thanksgiving, as it was our own Sarah Josepha Hale, born on a farm in Newport, New Hampshire, who after many years of letter writing, persuaded President Lincoln to declare the fourth Thursday in November a National Day of Thanksgiving in 1863, thereby establishing the National Holiday.

As part of the celebration New Hampshire Farm Museum on Saturday, Nov. 22, will have a special living history farmhouse tours with costumed role players, homemade pumpkin pie and warm cider in the farmhouse kitchen.

There will also be horse-drawn wagon rides through the fields, visits with the farm animals, popcorn over the campfire, shelling and grinding corn, and a weaving demonstration. No registration necessary
Admission $10 adult, $5 child/ Museum members $6/$3
