Remember those Thanksgiving pageant with the Pilgrams in their black hats and brass buckles? Wrong. They actually wore quite colorful cloths. And as you’ll see in this drama, set at the Plimoth Plantation living history museum in Massachusetts, much of what we learned about pilgrims in grade school isn’t necessarily so. For example, in 1623, the plimoth Colony learned a valuable lesson about sharing property: a lesson that is often forgotton today.
