Imagine if you can go back in time to the year 1863 for Thanksgiving!

We can’t travel back in time…YET…but we can to travel to Long Island to watch a reenactment of a 19th century Thanksgiving!

Old Bethpage Village Restoration is a living museum with restored historical homes to recreate a 19th century town. Volunteers dressed in vintage clothing demonstrates and gives visitors the history of what life was like during this time.
