Scott Peacock’s
favorite spot in his
nearly 200-year-old
house is this yellow
second-floor sitting
room. “That’s the
original calcimine
paint on those walls,”
he says. Come
Thanksgiving, he
moves his dining
table here and sets it
with antique china
and glassware, and
napkins dyed with
his own homegrown
indigo. Opposite: His
bird is infused with
fresh bay leaves and
citrus, and served
with a cranberry-
satsuma relish.
“Heritage-breed
turkeys have a dis-
tinct flavor, so the
preparation can be
simple,” he says.
