Thanksgiving is today, Thursday, November 28. We are sharing with you Thanksgiving-related fun facts courtesy of Census Statistics in Schools team.
In the fall of 1621, the Pilgrims — early settlers of Plymouth Colony — held a three-day feast to celebrate a bountiful harvest. Many regard this event as the nation’s first Thanksgiving.
Some of the Fun Facts go from the number of turkey towns and cranberry counties in our country to the states that were forecasted to raise the most turkeys.
Enjoy and Happy Thanksgiving!
