SUMMARY:First Crossing of 2024
DESCRIPTION:Each December\, thousands of people gather on the banks of the Delaware River to watch the reenactment of George Washington’s daring 1776 Christmas night river crossing. During the event\, several hundred reenactors in Continental military dress listen to an inspiring speech by General Washington and then row across the river in replica Durham boats. \nJoin us for the First Crossing on Sunday\, December 8th\, from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM (actual crossing at 1:00 PM). This is not a dress rehearsal\, but rather a fundraising event. Beyond witnessing the historical reenactment\, visitors can immerse themselves in the Colonial Era for the day. During this event\, families are invited to participate in a range of activities: \n\nObserve the 4th light dragoons portraying mounted militia soldiers riding on horseback\nSmell and taste bread prepared by a period baker\nSee how soldiers drilled in preparation for battle\nHear the park’s fife and drum corps perform\nLearn how cannons were loaded and fired\nWatch blacksmiths demonstrate their craft\nBrowse the wares of colonial craftspeople\nImmerse yourself in a follower’s encampment\nTry your hand at colonial-era games\n\nGuest Narrator: Charles R. Bowry\, Jr.\, Executive Director\, U.S. Army Center of Military History \nCharles R. Bowery\, Jr.\, Executive Director\, U.S. Army Center of Military History and Chief of Military History\, oversees the management of 29 Army museums\, including the National Museum of the United States Army. Mr. Bowery is responsible for the overall direction of historical matters throughout the Department of the Army and supervises the production of Army historical works and studies. He is also a published author and a specialist in the American Civil War. \nFeatured Author & Book Signing: Jason A. Cherry \nJason A. Cherry\, an independent historian and research consultant\, will share his work on William Trent\, a notable figure of 18th-century America. Cherry’s latest book\, William Trent: The Factor of Ambition\, offers a fresh perspective on Trent’s complex legacy and his role in shaping early American history. Cherry has participated in the First Crossing reenactment for five years and portrays soldiers who fought at both the first and second battles of Trenton. \nMembers of the Friends of Washington Crossing Park receive passes to a heated members-only tent with refreshments\, provided by Amwell Ridge Wealth Management. Admission for the December 8th event is $9 for adults\, $5 for children aged 5-11\, and free for children under 5. A special family package is available for $25 (two adults\, two children). Tickets can be purchased in advance at WashingtonCrossingPark.org/cross-with-us. Proceeds from this event enable Washington Crossing Historic Park to offer the second Christmas Day Crossing reenactment free of charge. \n\nFor more event information or to purchase tickets visit our Crossing Reenactment Page.

SUMMARY:3rd Annual Washington's Landing in New Jersey
DESCRIPTION:On December 8\, from 11 am to 3:30 pm\, please join NJ State Park historians\, the Washington Crossing Park Association\, the First Rhode Island Regiment\, and other NJ-based reenactor groups who will give the public an opportunity to experience both the Crossing and the March to Trenton through the eyes of the men and women who lived it. \nThe title of this event is “Washington’s Landing in New Jersey\,” which occurs on the same day as the Pennsylvania Park’s rehearsal crossing of the Delaware. Reenactors who cross with Washington will be met by our General Nathaneal Greene\, who will invite them to an encampment in the Lower Park. Near the encampment will be a Haybale Theater where historians Leslie Bramlett and Noah Lewis will speak on the contributions of New Jersey soldiers and families\, with a focus on the contributions of African Americans both free and enslaved. Visitors will also be welcomed at the nearby Nelson House\, where volunteers from the Garden Club of Trenton will serve free hot cider and donuts in front of a roaring fire. A food truck will be on hand! Free to enter\, but a $10/carload donation is requested.
