The Pilgrims and The Mayflower

November 9, 2022 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

The Morristown and Morris Township Library’s North Jersey History and Genealogy Center presents Joel Farkas’ The Pilgrims and The Mayflower on Wednesday, November 9th at 7 p.m. on Zoom.

We celebrate Thanksgiving every November, but do you really know why? This lecture will answer all of your Thanksgiving questions including: Who really were the pilgrims? Why did they sail on the Mayflower? What’s the real story about the origins of Thanksgiving? What does Henry VIII (yes, the one with all the wives) have to do with any of this? And also, what’s with the turkey?

Farkas is a former National Park Service volunteer docent at Washington’s Headquarters (The Ford Mansion). His unique background and knowledge of American history has allowed him to lecture at libraries, clubs, schools and organizations all over New Jersey.

E-mail njhgc@mmt.mainlib.org to register for this program, by 9 a.m. on Wednesday, November 9th.
