Thanks-Giving Square
Thanks-Giving Square is an international resource devoted to gathering and sharing the thanksgivings of the United States and the world. The Thanks-Giving Foundation was established on May 29, 1964.
The purpose of Thanks-Giving Square is to allow people to gather and share the thanksgivings of the world. Provide a place of honor for the great American and world traditions. Allow people to research gratitude in all religions and cultures.
The idea start in 1961 when the Dallas City Planning Council conceived an idea to celebrate a value. They spent the next year or so consulting educators and philosophers about "value". Thanksgiving, not the holiday in November, but the act of giving thanks and being grateful for what we have was suggested.
With this in mind, the land was purchased in 1968 and yearly since then there has been a meeting of great minds to discuss the idea of giving thanks in a multicultural way. The square has begun having large community celebrations that involve all people and diversity is encouraged and celebrated.
The square is a great place to spend a day and a nice place to spend a day being thankful for the things you have in your life that make it special. If you're looking for something a little off the beaten path to see on your next trip to Dallas, give Thanks-giving Square a try and you'll find you'll have a great time.
