  • 250 Years of Celebrations | Old World Holidays: Celebrations in the New World

    Nathan Hale Homestead 2299 South St, Coventry, CT, United States

    As the nights grow longer, bring some light to a November day with an exploration of winter traditions with roots in Europe, including Guy Fawkes Day, Mumming and wassailing, and days of Thanksgiving. As the United States marks 250 years since its founding, the Nathan Hale Homestead is asking, how can we party like it’s 1776? Our 18th-Century Celebrations series brings history to life with three immersive events.

    $25 – $30
