The document discusses the history and traditions of Thanksgiving. It explains that the Pilgrims celebrated the first Thanksgiving in 1621 with the Wampanoag Native American tribe to give thanks for a successful harvest. While the Pilgrims and Native Americans initially had a positive relationship, it did not last long. Today, Thanksgiving is celebrated with family, food like turkey and pie, and watching football and parades on television.

4. PAGE 4 Frequently asked questions……..
Are those trees planted that way intentionally?
This is a perennial question at The Black Jack Battlefield & Nature Park; are the trees
adjacent to the picnic shelter planted that way intentionally?
The answer is yes ! Robert Hall Pearson, the man who owned this property and built the
farmstead after fighting along with John Brown and his men during the battle, was from
Pennsylvania where it is popular to tap sugar maple trees for syrup in the very early spring.
We hope to find out just how much sap is left in those old trees and
make a batch or two of syrup like Pearson would have wanted us to.
When it is too late for tapping, the beauty of the Grove is too much for
professional and amateur photographers alike to resist.
The Grove is the most photographed area at the site !
…………….What can I do to help?
The Black Jack Battlefield & Nature Park can always use your help! Here are some of the ways you can get
involved with the ongoing process of preserving and interpreting this Historic Site:
Help do some of the physical work that is needed on what we call our “Work Days.” This can be anything from
clearing the property of broken limbs and sticks fallen from our many trees, helping to dismantle old or construct
new buildings, work on restoring the Pearson Farmstead home, mowing, trimming, or any random chore that is
needed at the time.
Help to serve food, set up or take down, be a parking attendant, or in general help out at one of our major
fundraising events during the year.
Be a greeter for a few hours or a whole day during the weekends between May and October. This would only
require a pleasant personality to welcome our visitors to the site and pass out brochures.
Become a tour guide for guided tours. You will receive instruction from one of our experienced tour guides. You
will be able to learn the history of the area and the site in order to provide a good tour to small groups of visitors.
Dressing in period clothing would be a plus but not required.
Give period demonstrations or don your period garb on weekends and scheduled events.
Make a monetary contribution. As much as we appreciate all of our faithful volunteers, money to meet our
operating expenses and to provide improvements that are needed is always appreciated.
Please contact us in one of the following ways to let us know how you would like to help
become part of our efforts:
