What America's Hometown Thanksgiving Inc does
Mission
To preserve the pilgrim legacy and to educate the public about the history of our national holiday, thanksgiving, and to also recognize those who have fought to protect the american way of life. By doing so we promote the core values of courage, fortitude, faith, virtue and brotherly love. We believe this legacy of character is the cornerstone of american values and will continue to be what america stands for not only now but well into the future.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Through various educational events, history is brought to life as pilgrims, native americans, soldiers, patriots and pioneers climb out of the history books and on to the streets of plymouth. Every aspect of what our visitors experience is steeped in the rich history of our past. In the reenactments of our historical village, the floats in our annual thanksgiving parade, and the music in our concert series, we are telling the story of our great nation that starts with the first thanksgiving in 1621. Our hometown colonial village depicts the way of life of the pilgrims and early americans through exhibits and hands on demonstrations to teach new generations of this important piece of america's foundation.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $51k to $261k (+416%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2019 33% · 2020 76% · 2025 28%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
