Plimoth Patuxet Museums Celebrates Green Corn

Plymouth, Massachusetts (July 23, 2025) – Plimoth Patuxet Museums is pleased to announce that the 2025 Green Corn Celebration will be held on Saturday, August 2, 10 am - 4 pm. This annual event, presented by Museum Educators on the Historic Patuxet Homesite, will feature cultural programming and hands-on educational activities.

For thousands of years, corn has served as a foundational pillar to the lifeways and spirituality of Indigenous Peoples throughout the Americas. For the Wampanoag, Weeâchumun (corn) holds deep ceremonial and seasonal importance, with its lifestages honored throughout the year beginning in spring and culminating in fall. “We invite all members of the community to join us on the Historic Patuxet Homesite on Saturday, August 2, as we continue to preserve these traditions with our annual Green Corn Thanksgiving,” said Malissa Costa, Guest Experience Manager of the Historic Patuxet Homesite.

During this celebration, Museum Educators on the Historic Patuxet Homesite will share the ongoing importance of Weeâchumun through song, dance, foodways, and storytelling. “Plimoth Patuxet is dedicated to illuminating the history, heritage, and culture of the Wampanoag People,” said Executive Director Tom Begley. “We are grateful to our colleagues for sharing their lifeways and are proud to host this annual program where learners of all ages are encouraged to engage in thoughtful conversations that expand cultural understanding and deepen historical empathy.”

Plimoth Patuxet Museums is open seven days a week, 9 am - 5 pm, now through the Sunday following Thanksgiving Day. Access to all Green Corn Celebration events are included with admission to Plimoth Patuxet.
