Did you know the first Thanksgiving was celebrated in St. Augustine, Florida in 1565 by the Spanish and Timucuan natives? Drop-in between 10AM and 1PM with the kids and grandkids to enjoy classic Thanksgiving crafts, but with a Florida twist! We'll be learning about what they would have eaten at Florida's first Thanksgiving and have hands-on activities related to colonial Florida history. Ideal for preschool and elementary-aged students.
