On November 9, 1620, a small ship called “The Mayflower” arrived in New England in an area called Cape Cod Bay. This area was not conducive to starting a settlement, so the Mayflower and it’s 102 passengers and about 30 crew members, sailed a little further up the coast to a better suitable area that is today called Plymouth Bay.  The colonists began to build their settlement in an abandoned Wampanoag Indian village. Only 52 of the original 102 Mayflower passengers survived the first year in the new Plymouth Colony.

In the fall of 1621, the pilgrims had a three-day celebration marking their first harvest. Indian Sachem Massasoit and about 90 members of his tribe join in for the feast.  It was in the 19th century that their celebration became the First Thanksgiving story.

Thanksgiving Day is a national holiday throughout the United States was signed into law by President Abraham Lincoln on October 3, 1863.
