Before we had Thanksgiving, people of the Revolutionary Era celebrated Evacuation Day every Nov. 25, the day that the British Army officially left New York City. Learn about how new Americans celebrated, who else were on the boats that left, and where they went.

History Explorers Club playdates are best enjoyed by ages 7-11 but fun for all kids.

Museum Family and Ambassador Level Members enjoy History Explorers Club programs for Free!
