In September, we celebrate our Harvest Moon here in Mashantucket, which marks the time of the year for us to harvest the last of our crops and prepare ourselves for the winter.
Join us on Saturday, September 21st, from 11AM to 3PM, at the Pequot Museum for our first Harvest Moon Market. Just in time for the fall solstice, we will showcase Indigenous and non-Indigenous farmers, crafters and culture for a family-friendly day full of activities. Throughout the day, we will host programs and events that provide important information about eastern woodland culture and lifeways.
