Celebrate Thanksgiving with Plymouth 400’s commemorative postmarks

Postmark Pursuit by Molly Goad

Two Thanksgiving-themed pictorial postmarks have been made available by the Plymouth 400 Legacy organization.

The nearby postmark features a turkey and the text, “Site of America’s First Thanksgiving,” and “Give Thanks.”

The second postmark, not pictured, features a cornucopia, also known as the horn of plenty — an emblem of abundance and nourishment.

Plymouth 400 is a not-for-profit organization formed to lead the planning and execution of programs commemorating the 400th anniversary of the 1620 Mayflower voyage and the founding of the Plymouth Colony. The 2020 anniversary was celebrated in 2021 due to the pandemic.
