Written and illustrated by four Indigenous creators, this beautiful picture book honors both the history and tradition that surrounds the story of the first Thanksgiving.
Written and illustrated by four Indigenous creators, this beautiful picture book honors both the history and tradition that surrounds the story of the first Thanksgiving.

Discover the first Thanksgiving through Wampanoag eyes, as Maple and Quill learn the story of Weeâchumun (corn) and what really happened at the first Thanksgiving from their grandmother. Without members of the Wampanoag tribe who already lived on the land where the Pilgrims settled, the Pilgrims would never have made it through their first winter.

Hardcover copies of the story are also available for purchase in the museum gift shop, open 10-4 most weekdays. Please note, the gift shop will be closed November 26 & 27 for the Thanksgiving holiday.

The StoryWalk® Project was created by Anne Ferguson and developed in collaboration with the Kellogg-Hubbard Library in Montpelier, Vermont. StoryWalk® is a registered service mark owned by the Kellogg-Hubbard Library. The museum's StoryWalk® was made possible thanks to a generous gift from the New Haven Middlesex Association of Realtors Foundation through a grant from the National Association of REALTORS®.

The Henry Whitfield State Museum is located at 248 Old Whitfield Street in Guilford and the StoryWalk® is inside the stone wall along Stone House Lane. Call 203-453-2457 for more information.
