The pilgrims celebrated the first Thanksgiving Day in the fall of 1621. The pilgrims sailed to America from Plymouth, England, in September. 1620. They came to America for religious freedom. They were among the first European settlers in America. The name of their ship was the “Mayflower”. They landed at Plymouth Rock in December, 1620. There were people living in America before the pilgrims arrived. These people were the Native American Indians. They began settling in America about 25,000 years ago. They hunted, fished and farmed to survive. The pilgrims’ first winter in the New World was difficult. Without food, half of the pilgrims died. The following spring the Indians taught the pilgrims how to hunt, fish, plant and survive in America. The crops did well, and in the fall of 1621 the pilgrims had a great harvest. They were thankful and decided to celebrate with a Thanksgiving feast. They prepared a dinner of turkey, corn, beans and pumpkins and they invited their Indian friends. Americans still celebrate Thanksgiving Day in the fall, on the 4th Thursday in November. Turkey is still the main dish and pumpkin pie is the most popular dessert.
