The first Thanksgiving celebration was a three-day event held in Plymouth Colony, Massachusetts, in 1621. Historians note that the Wampanoag Native American tribe brought five deer with them, so venison was definitely on the menu. The English brought wildfowl — most likely migrating duck or geese, but potentially carrier pigeons or swans — which were plentiful in autumn. However, it's unlikely that turkey was on the menu. While seafood is a rare sight on a modern Thanksgiving table, the original feast may have also included fish, eel, lobster, and mussels.
