Old Bethpage Village Restoration Celebrates "1863 Thanksgiving" Over Two Weekends
Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano announces that Old Bethpage Village Restoration (OBVR) will celebrate an “1863 Thanksgiving” over two successive weekends November 20 - 21 and November 27 - 28 from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Visitors to the re-created 19th-century village will be able to enjoy the sights and smells of an old-fashioned Thanksgiving, as wood-burning stoves, beehive stoves, beehive ovens and hearths are used to prepare foods and baked goods made from 19th-century recipes.
The culinary exhibits include the “spitting” and roasting of turkey in a tin reflector oven beside the Williams House hearth and preparation of pies at the Powell House. OBVR will also display 19th-century methods of food preservation employed for late fall crops.
In addition, each afternoon, historical period music will be played, while at the Noon Inn, children’s stories will be read several times each day.
“This program, which is itself a tradition at Old Bethpage Village, is a wonderful way for Long Islanders to connect with 19th-century American culture during one of our most important national holidays,” says Jim McKenna, OBVR site director and curator.
Check out this video from Newsday about the event: 1863 Thanksgiving
