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 as the nation's first Thanksgiving. The legacy of thanks and the feast have survived for centuries, with the event becoming a national holiday as of Oct. 3, 1863. Happy Thanksgiving Grimes County!
