SUMMARY:George Washington Birthday Educational Forum Featuring David O Stewart
DESCRIPTION:Historian and author\, David O. Stewart\, will be our featured speaker at our February 21 Washington Birthday Educational Forum at the Mercer County Community College’s Conference Center.  The program will start at 6:30 pm and will end with a birthday cake and a “Happy Birthday to You” to George Washington. (Information and details will appear on this website as details are confirmed.) \nAfter many years as a trial and appellate lawyer\, Mr. Stewart became a bestselling writer of history and historical fiction.  His histories have explored the writing of the Constitution\, the gifts of James Madison\, the outrageous western expedition and treason trial of the mysterious Aaron Burr\, and the impeachment trial of President Andrew Johnson.  He is now working on an examination of George Washington’s political mastery\, which should be published in early 2021.  His histories have won the Washington Writing Award for best book of the year\, the History Prize of the Society of the Cincinnati\, and the William H. Prescott Award of the National Society of Colonial Dames of America. \nMr. Stewart explained that he is “currently finishing the manuscript for my work about G. Washington\, which has the working title America’s Master Politician:  How George Washington Became GEORGE WASHINGTON.  Sadly the book will not be out by the time of this program.  My current expectation for the talk is to focus on two periods in GW’s life:  (1) his 15 years as a member of the Virginia House of Burgesses\, during which time he also served as a county court judge and parish vestry member\, which was a critical stage of his development as a political leader; and (2) his leadership in the creation and ratification of the Constitution – roughly 1785-88.  The Summer of 1787 is my book on the Constitutional Convention and Madison’s Gift explores the Madison-Washington relationship as one of the five critical partnerships in Madison’s career.” \nPlan to join us! \n

SUMMARY:‘They Were Good Soldiers’: African–Americans Serving in the Continental  Army\, 1775-1783
DESCRIPTION:The role of African-Americans\, most free but some enslaved\, in the regiments of the Continental Army is not well-known; neither is the fact that relatively large numbers served in southern regiments and that the greatest number served alongside their white comrades in integrated units. John Rees will discuss black soldiers’ acceptance\, service\, and experiences during and after the War for American Independence\, focusing on those who served in Continental regiments. African American women with the army will also be featured\, as will the only known wartime letter written by a black Revolutionary soldier. Free.

SUMMARY:Rescheduled: Lecture on "Who was here in 1776?"
DESCRIPTION:Washington Crossing Historic Park’s Evening with the Curator series concludes for the year with a free public lecture on some of the people who contributed to the Ten Crucial Days surrounding the crossing. The lecture\, rescheduled from December 1\, will be held in the Visitor Center auditorium on two dates: Sunday\, December 8 at 11 AM (during the First Crossing event\, set for 10 AM to 4 PM)Friday\, December 20 at 11 AMRegistration is required; please call the park Visitor Center at 215-493-4076 to register.  Park curator Kimberly McCarty will discuss the soldiers and civilians who participated in the days surrounding the crossing that turned the tide of the Revolutionary War. “My intent is to explore the lives\, before and after the crossing\, of some of the notable figures who participated\, as well as others who don’t factor into most narratives of that night\,” McCarty said. People like Jacob Francis\, a soldier of color from New Jersey. Francis was technically free\, but he was indentured as a young man. As his indenture (or contract) was sold from one man to another\, he moved from New Jersey to Massachusetts to the Caribbean\, back to Massachusetts\, where he joined the revolt. Right after the crossing\, Francis returned to his mother\, in Hunterdon County. Later\, he married a slave and bought her freedom. “It’s important to appreciate how each contribution helped the crossing\,” McCarty said. “But it’s also significant to understand that they were made by people\, many of them anonymous to this day\, who lived nuanced lives before and after that night.”

SUMMARY:Evening with the Curator: Jane Neely and Women's Education in the 18th Century
DESCRIPTION:Washington Crossing Historic Park’s Evening with the Curator series continues on Sunday\, October 27 at 7 PM with a free lecture on Jane Neely and women’s education in the 18th century.\nRegistration opens September 1. To register\, please call the Visitor Center at 215-493-4076.\nJane Neely was nine years old when the Continental Army camped on her family’s property (now the Thompson-Neely House and Farmstead) before the crossing in December 1776.\nTwelve years later\, Jane attended Philadelphia’s Young Ladies’ Academy: the first chartered school for girls in the United States. The academy opened just a few blocks from the nation’s first capital and the office where George Washington would soon preside as the first president of the United States.\nAnd it was the only school of its kind to include science in the curriculum.\n“There were many academies for young ladies throughout the country at that time\,” says park curator Kimberly McCarty\, who will give the lecture in October. “Typically\, though\, the curriculum focused on the more refined domestic arts\, such as embroidery and music\, the types of things an up-and-coming young lady would need to help her create a beautiful home to raise a family and entertain others of her social status. The study of science\, particularly chemistry\, was a product of the Enlightenment and was the territory of men—until the Young Ladies’ Academy came along.”
