An old fashion New England Thanksgiving

Scenes from around Old Sturbridge Village, as we get ready for tomorrow's celebrations.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!
Tom M.

PS - who knows why the guy is lowering an iron rod down into the mug?

 

[Gliderman8]

Is he warming his ale?
To everyone: Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Indeed - and yes we will be celebrating in the Smit house too - though not till Saturday.

I'm going to some far away place called Eastford Connecticut.

I've been there.... We have a customer in Eastford.

Mulled cider, I suspect. Or Ale.

Definitely mulled cider.

Definitely mulled cider.

When we were kids, My Dad would use the expression " I'm mulling over the question". Which to us kids translated to : "the answer is No"

 

[Brooklands]

Peg and I were fondly remembering Thanksgiving in OSV yesterday. Great food, and getting to meet Tom too.

 

[Basil]

Definitely mulled cider.

Cider made by this guy?

Didn't make it to OSV for Thanksgiving, but the New England Region AHCA holiday party will be held there next week and we'll be overnighting at the Inn at the Village. Always a lot of fun with plenty of laughs at the Yankee Swap.

I'm pretty sure I saw a microwave oven in the back of one of the photos. Hope your Thanksgiving was great Tom! ...and everyone else too!

Always remember a trip to Old Sturbridge Village. Been there many a time but it never gets (Dare I pun?) old.

Never been to OSV but did spend a lot of time in Colonial Williamsburg, VA. back-when. That place has become much more "commercialized" since.

 

[Brooklands]

I did not enjoy our last trip to Colonial Williamsburg in 2014 due to it having been too commercial indeed. OSV does not have that problem at all, and retains the charm one expects.

OSV is on my list of places to visit. Along with Mystic Seaport, Fort Ticonderoga, and a few others. The living history group I'm involved with does their annual "Feast Of The Harvest Moon" at a 150 year old mansion turned bed and breakfast that boasts a beautiful banquet hall with hand hewn beams, and a giant stone hearth. Of course period clothing is required, and the evening includes dances like the Virginia Reel and games of Farkle and Shut-the-box.
It looks like you guys have a good time. I hope to come see it someday.
