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: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.

Written for Americans intent on understanding our national origins but also appropriate for teachers and secondary classrooms\, Freedom argues that the American Revolution is the central event in our history: the turning point between our colonial origins and our national experience. This volume includes 167 full-color paintings\, maps\, illustrations\, and photos—many seen only in historical institutions nationwide! \nThe narrative in FREEDOM spans from the American Revolution’s origins in the nature of colonial British America—a society in which freedom was limited and in which everyone was the subject of a distant monarch—through the crisis in the British Empire that followed the French and Indian War\, to the events of the War for Independence itself\, and ultimately to the creation of the first great republic in modern history. Ours is a shared\, inspiring story of how Americans\, united in their fight for freedom\, became one nation with a shared history and national identity. It is a testament to the power of unity and shared values. It is the story of a generation of founders who expressed ideals of liberty\, equality\, natural and civil rights\, and responsible citizenship: ideals that have shaped our history and will shape our future—and the world’s future. \nAbout the Author \nJack D.

SUMMARY:Jazz Concert on the Riverbank 2024
DESCRIPTION:The Friends of Washington Crossing Park (PA) and the historic Newtown Theatre are teaming up for a third year to present a free outdoor jazz concert on Saturday\, May 25 from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. The concert will be held on the banks of the Delaware River near the park’s visitor center. \nThe featured jazz artist this year is Calli Graver.

The album accompanies fans on their day-to-day journeys\, exploring sophisticated writing and musicianship from her band with warmth\, nostalgia\, and plain ol’ fun. \nIn addition to recording original music\, Graver has sung with legends like Aretha Franklin\, Michael Bublé\, Josh Groban\, and Andrea Bocelli\, and worked with several symphonies\, orchestras and philharmonics spanning the nation. \nRita’s Ice will be available onsite. Attendees are welcome to bring their own picnic dinner\, chairs\, and blankets. Alcohol is not permitted in the state park. Four-legged friends are welcome but must be leashed and under control at all times. \nNo registration is required for this free concert. Rain date is Monday\, May 27 at the same time.
