Ep 204 Tom Begley: Howdy Pilgrim. Tom, Turkey, and the First Thanksgiving

Description
Here at Backyard Green Films, we’re getting ready to celebrate the 400-year anniversary of the Devons coming to America with our Plymouth to Plimoth documentary.  In preparation for this event (and our film!), we spoke with Tom Begley, Deputy Director for Collections Research and Public Engagement at Plimoth Patuxet Museum.  Doesn’t the site of the Pilgrim connection seem like a wonderful podcast for today’s Thanksgiving holiday?  We thought so, too. In addition, we hope you join us in April and May, as we follow the Devon World Congress tour 2024.  People come from all over the world to celebrate the glories of the beef side of the Devon Cattle breed, and the American Milking Devon side of the family will be there, too.  More excitement to come in the upcoming year, we assure you. Thanksgiving is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate both our differences and our similarities, all with good food and good company.  We send our best wishes, and grateful thanks, to all of our listeners and our sponsors.
