Paul Curtis House in Medford, MA
"Grandfather's House" also known as the Paul Curtis House in Medford, MA.

"The New-England Boy's Song about Thanksgiving Day",[1][2] also known as "Over the River and Through the Woods",[3] is a Thanksgiving poem by Lydia Maria Child,[3] originally published in 1844 in Flowers for Children, Volume 2.[4]

Although many people sing "to grandmother's house we go", the author's original words were "to grandfather's house we go".[4] Moreover, in modern American English, most people use the word woods rather than wood in reference to a forest, and sing the song accordingly.[3]
