RVers Can Experience Unique Thanksgiving Traditions at National Park Events

If you’re planning to visit relatives for Thanksgiving, better finish packing your RV so you can hit the highway early. AAA estimates that 42.5 million people will be sharing the America’s highways over the 4-day holiday weekend. Despite still high gas prices, Thanksgiving travel this weekend is expected to be 4% higher than last year. That’s good news for RV campgrounds, especially those located near national parks that are hosting special Thanksgiving events this weekend. (Click the link to access RVT.com’s campground finder.)

If you’re looking for a memorable way to celebrate the holiday, drop by one of these national parks and join the festivities:

>  Fort Pulaski National Monument in Georgia will bring to life the fort’s first Thanksgiving in 1862 with its 149th celebration of the Grand Thanksgiving Fete and Festival. Expect old-fashioned fun like wheelbarrow and sack races.

> Homestead National Monument in Nebraska kicks off its annual Winter Festival of Prairie Cultures on November 26 (through December 31). Learn about and share the winter traditions of the people who made the Great Plains their home during the homesteading era in the mid to late-1800s.

> Petroglyph National Monument in New Mexico will demonstrate traditional Pueblo bread baking in a homo oven host at its November 26 Holiday Open House.

>  Fort Vancouver National Historic Site in Washington is offering guided lantern tours on Friday evenings through mid-December. Find out about fort nightlife in the 1800s while touring the fur store, counting house and bake house.
