Our trip to Strawbery Banke taught us a lot of interesting information about the history of thanksgiving throughout the ages and with many different cultures. The different cultures included Jewish people, celebrating with matzo balls, Israelis, who celebrated with a hut called a sukkah, and people from China who celebrate the moon festival. Thanksgiving has always required a lot of work to prepare food in all cultures, and even more back in the 1700's and 1800's. So no matter how it is celebrated, in which ever culture you do, thanksgiving has the same roots.
