 Old Surbridge Village will be closed on Thanksgiving Day this year. Costume historian Tom Kelleher, who's worked there for over 30 years, says that Thanksgiving is one of the living museum's oldest traditions. Good morning, Mr. King. Good morning, Mr. Kelleher. I mean, Thanksgiving has long been a big holiday for us. In the 19th century, it was probably the major holiday on the 19th century. According to Blacksmith and Tinsmith Richard Eckert, programming typically includes a big Thanksgiving feast. Many of us staff get to sit down and actually eat it in front of the visitors and talk about the different food and just the tradition of what Thanksgiving was. He also said that the men compete in a target shoot. But this year, the feast is canceled and the shoot will happen the weekend after Thanksgiving. Eckert said it will be a big adjustment for him and the guests. Personally, this is going to be the first Thanksgiving in almost 10 years that I'm actually going to be home for. I've worked every single Thanksgiving. So I usually don't get home until about 5 36 o'clock normally. A lot of the visitors are, while they understand, they're also kind of saddened to hear that we won't be open that day. Even though Old Surbridge Village will be closed for Thanksgiving, they do plan to open for Christmas with modified Christmas by candlelight programming. For BUTV 10, I'm Kristen Chin.
