When was Thanksgiving officially established at the White House?
It all started on September 28, 1789, when the first Federal Congress asked President George Washington to declare a national day of thanksgiving. Just a few days later, George Washington issued a Presidential Proclamation declaring Thursday, November 26th as a national day of “public thanksgiving.”
However, it wasn’t until 1863 — when President Abraham Lincoln declared that the last Thursday of November be marked as Thanksgiving — that the holiday emerged as a national holiday.
But it wouldn’t be Thanksgiving without a little gravy mixed in with American history, right?
