SUMMARY:Lecture – “Environmental Legacies: How the War of Independence Affected the Natural World in Predictable and Surprising Ways”
DESCRIPTION:Join Juniata College Professor Dave Hsiung for his presentation of how the revolutionary war impacted the natural world. Dr. David Hsiung is the Dr. Charles R. and Shirley A. Knox Professor of History at Juniata College\, where he has taught since earning his Ph.D. from the University of Michigan and his B.A. from Yale. A dedicated teacher and scholar\, he has received multiple honors for excellence in the classroom\, including Juniata’s Beachley Award for Distinguished Teaching and Pennsylvania’s “Professor of the Year” from the Carnegie Foundation. His research spans Appalachian history\, environmental perspectives on the American Revolution\, and interdisciplinary collaborations with students that bring history to life through hands-on experimentation and exploration. \nThe War of Independence affected the natural world in important and lasting ways. The lecture will examine deforestation at Valley Forge; raids that seized animals but also produced some surprisingly “positive” effects; and lead musket balls left on battlefields that may only now be poisoning the land. This talk offers not only new ways to think about the Revolution\, but also war and the environment today. \n\n\n\nRegister Here!

SUMMARY:Living History Day 2025
DESCRIPTION:  \nCelebrate Independence Day by bringing the whole family back in time—to July 4\, 1776!\nAt Washington Crossing Historic Park\, you can watch living historians demonstrate their crafts and see a military encampment from noon to 4 PM on July 4th. A highlight of the day will be readings of the Declaration of Independence at 12:30 PM\, 1:30 PM\, 2:30 PM and 3:30 PM. \nAdditionally\, join historian and author David Price at 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM as he explores the iconic “Ten Crucial Days” winter campaign of 1776-77\, a defining moment in the American Revolution. David presents a thematic analysis of the campaign\, focusing on five key factors that played a pivotal role in shaping its outcome: leadership\, geography\, weather\, artillery\, and contingency. Rather than offering a traditional chronological account\, David examines how these overlapping elements combined to thwart British plans at a critical juncture in the war\, enabling George Washington’s army to achieve a series of pivotal victories and turn the tide of the Revolution. \nDavid offers a fresh perspective on this legendary campaign\, drawing from his latest book\, Winning the Ten Crucial Days: The Keys to Victory in George Washington’s Legendary Winter Campaign. Renowned historians have praised the work for its insightful analysis and unique approach. This event provides an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of how these five factors worked in concert to transform the course of American history. David has produced multiple books and scholarly articles relating to the War of Independence\, and his work has earned numerous accolades\, including recognition from the National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution. Don’t miss this engaging and thought-provoking discussion of one of the most critical moments in the Revolutionary War. \nLocal Harvest Pizza and Rita’s Water Ice will be on-site. \nThe Friends of Washington Crossing Park also operate a concession stand serving hot dogs\, chips\, and beverages. Proceeds from the stand help support the Friends’ educational programming at the park. Food donated by Colonial Farms\, Dietz & Watson\, Herr’s\, Bimbo Bakeries\, and Wawa help us provide affordable food options for our visitors and refreshments for our volunteers. We are deeply grateful for their generous support. \nTickets are $9 for adults age 12 and over; $5 for children ages 5-11; and free for those under 5\, active-duty military\, and members of the Friends of Washington Crossing Park. Families with up to two adults and two children living in the same household can purchase a single-family ticket for $25. \nPre-registration is recommended. Admission to Bowman’s Hill Tower is included in your ticket to Living History Day. \n

SUMMARY:Lecture – “German Soldier\, American Rebel: Christopher Ludwick’s Pursuits of Happiness in Revolutionary Pennsylvania”
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nThis is a hybrid event.  Visitors may attend in-person in the Visitor Center Auditorium or virtually on Zoom.  Registration is required.  Log-in information provided with registration. Register Here \nHessian-born Christopher Ludwick was already a veteran of European warfare and an experienced mariner by the time he washed ashore in British Philadelphia in 1755. A skilled baker\, he made that city his permanent home and\, through private frugality and industriousness\, realized great wealth and community status. When imperial politics thrust the British Empire into revolution\, however\, Ludwick became a dedicated supporter of America’s glorious cause. He ultimately dedicated the rest of his life to fighting oppression\, as his crusade continued beyond Yorktown. Indeed\, his efforts to help others continued posthumously\, beyond even the crushing silence of the grave. \nShawn David McGhee (PhD\, Temple University) is a political historian of eighteenth-century British North America and author of No Longer Subjects of the British King: The Political Transformation of Royal Subjects to Republican Citizens\, 1774-1776 (Yardley\, PA: Westholme\, 2024)

SUMMARY:Lecture – “The Fate of the Day” An Evening with Rick Atkinson
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nAcclaimed author Rick Atkinson\, Pulitzer Prize winner\, and author of\, The British Are Coming and The Liberation Trilogy\, is returning to Washington Crossing Historic Park to discuss the 2nd entry in his ongoing Revolution Trilogy\, *The Fate of the Day*. Atkinson’s newest work picks up the history of the Revolution where he left off\, and covers the years of 1777-1780\, where the Continental army went through some of its toughest challenges. \nThis Lecture will take place on June 10th from 7:00pm to 9:00pm. It will feature a lecture by Rick Atkinson on his new book\, as well as time for him to sign purchased books. Tickets are $40 to attend\, $65 to attend and get a copy of the book\, and $90 for two attendees and one copy of the book. Tickets can be purchased here\, they will not be sold “at the door”. Note: The event is currently at capacity\, however you can sign up for the waitlist by clicking on the booking link above then entering your contact info and how many tickets you need. \nThis lecture is presented in Partnership with the Princeton Battlefield Society as part of their Cadwalader Lecture Series and sponsored in part by the Sons of the American Revolution. \nAbout the Book:\nThe first twenty-one months of the American Revolution—which began at Lexington and ended at Princeton—was the story of a ragged group of militiamen and soldiers fighting to forge a new nation. By the winter of 1777\, the exhausted Continental Army could claim only that it had barely escaped annihilation by the world’s most formidable fighting force. \nTwo years into the war\, George III is as determined as ever to bring his rebellious colonies to heel. But the king’s task is now exponentially more complicated: fighting a determined enemy on the other side of the Atlantic has become ruinously expensive\, and spies tell him that the French and Spanish are threatening to join forces with the Americans. \nPrize-winning historian Rick Atkinson provides a riveting narrative covering the middle years of the Revolution. Stationed in Paris\, Benjamin Franklin woos the French; in Pennsylvania\, George Washington pleads with Congress to deliver the money\, men\, and materiel he needs to continue the fight. In New York\, General William Howe\, the commander of the greatest army the British have ever sent overseas\, plans a new campaign against the Americans—even as he is no longer certain that he can win this searing\, bloody war. The months and years that follow bring epic battles at Brandywine\, Saratoga\, Monmouth\, and Charleston\, an infamous winter of misery in Valley Forge\, and yet more appeals for sacrifice by every American committed to the struggle for freedom.

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.

SUMMARY:Thompson-Neely House Encampment Tour 2024
DESCRIPTION:General George Washington’s crossing of the Delaware River invokes memories of the Continental Army struggling for its survival through the harsh winter weather\, poor shelter\, and scant clothing. Come join us on Saturday\, December 7\, 2024 as our living historians take you back in time to experience the reality of the encampment at the Thompson-Neely farm on which several regiments of the Continental army were quartered. This immersive experience will put you in the midst of what daily life was like for the soldiers\, how they lived\, what they ate\, and most importantly how they survived the conditions before they crossed the Delaware River and went on to win at Trenton. \nThis year visitors will also have an opportunity to tour the newly opened Thompson Neely House and get a first look at new exhibits that illustrate the history of the role of the house during Washington’s encampment in December 1776\, before the Christmas Night Crossing on December 25th. Two tour times will be offered from 1:45 PM – 2:45 PM and 3:45 PM – 4:45 PM. Please plan to arrive early for parking and check-in. \nThe cost is $10 per person\, register here.

SUMMARY:Lecture – “The Memory of ’76: The Revolution in American History”
DESCRIPTION:This is a hybrid event.  Visitors may attend in-person in the Visitor Center Auditorium or virtually on Zoom.   Registration is required here:   David Center Lecture: “The Memory of ’76: The Revolution in American History” with Michael Hattem (amphilsoc.org) \nIn partnership with the David Center and the American Philosophical Society\, join author Michael D. Hattem as he discusses his book The Memory of ’76:  The Revolution in American History. \nAmericans agree that their nation’s origins lie in the Revolution\, but they have never agreed on what the Revolution meant. For nearly two hundred and fifty years\, politicians\, political parties\, social movements\, and a diverse array of ordinary Americans have constantly reimagined the Revolution to fit the times and suit their own agendas. \nIn this sweeping take on American history\, Michael D. Hattem reveals how conflicts over the meaning and legacy of the Revolution—including the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution—have influenced the most important events and tumultuous periods in the nation’s history; how African Americans\, women\, and other oppressed groups have shaped the popular memory of the Revolution; and how much of our contemporary memory of the Revolution is a product of the Cold War. \nBy exploring the Revolution’s unique role in American history as a national origin myth\, Hattem shows how the meaning of the Revolution has never been fixed\, how remembering the nation’s founding has often done far more to divide Americans than to unite them\, and how revising the past is an important and long‑standing American political tradition.

SUMMARY:Lecture – Eighteenth Century France and the American Experience
DESCRIPTION:This event is online-only! Visitors may attend virtually on Zoom.  Registration is required.  Log-in information provided at registration. \nIn recognition of the Marquis de Lafayette’s 1824 tour of America James Taub\, Associate Curator at the Museum of the American Revolution\, will examine how French service in the colonies  influenced the future of the empire. \nWe often talk of the French Military during the American Revolutionary War through the lens of Rochambeau and his troops. However\, the service of his ‘Expédition particulière’ was a drop in the bucket of the experience of French arms during the years following the Seven Years War. By following personalities such as Rochambeau\, Broglie\, Montcalm\, Bougainville\, and Lafayette\, we can discover how the French military had their own revolution from the 1760s to 1780s\, and how the groundwork of the successes of the French Revolution and First Empire were laid by men who witnessed war in America. \nRegister here.
