SUMMARY:Fundraising Lecture – Jack D. Warren Jr. – “Freedom: The Enduring Importance of the Revolution”
DESCRIPTION:This event is in-person only at the Visitor Center Auditorium. Registration required. \nJoin us for a 1 hour lecture on Jack D. Warren Jr.’s new book on the American Revolution. \nPublished under the auspices of the American Revolution Institute of the Society of the Cincinnati\, Freedom: The Enduring Importance of the American Revolution is a narrative history of the War for Independence. It tells the pivotal story of the courageous men and women who risked their lives to create a new nation based on the idea that government should serve people and protect their freedom. 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. Warren\, Jr.\, is a native of Washington\, DC\, whose work focuses on the enduring achievements of the American Revolution. He served on the faculty of the University of Virginia\, where he was an editor of The Papers of George Washington. Subsequently\, he was the executive director of The Society of Cincinnati and the founding director of The American Revolution Institute. His books include The Presidency of George Washington and America’s First Veterans. He and his wife\, Janet\, live in Alexandria\, Virginia. \nThis event will be a 1 hour lecture by author Jack D. Warren Jr\, discussing the book\, his research\, as well as an opportunity for questions and book signing. \nProceeds will support the Friends of Washington Crossing Park and the Princeton Regional Sons and Daughters of the American Revolution Education Fund. \nTickets can be purchased both with or without a book. The book will also be available for sale in the Visitor Center gift shop\, if supplies allow.

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. Graver’s love for jazz\, classical and pop helped shape the genre-bending sound heard in her original music today. Her newest album\, “The Sun’s In My Eyes\,” produced by Ben O’Neil (John Legend\, Jill Scott)\, was released in September 2022 to critical acclaim. 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.

SUMMARY:Camp Life: Enduring the 1776 Bucks County Encampments
DESCRIPTION:The desperate condition of the soldiers who crossed the Delaware River on December 25\, 1776 has become as legendary as the crossing itself. Less well-known are the conditions under which these soldiers lived in the weeks preceding the crossing. \nOn Sunday\, December 3 at 7 PM\, Park Military Historian Colin Zimmerman will examine the reality of the difficult and complex encampments and how they impacted what would prove to be a decisive military stroke in the American War for Independence. \nDue to the overwhelming response to attend\, we are switching entirely to livestream. There will be no in-person component to this program. The event is free to attend but registration is required to receive the Zoom link. Click here to register.

SUMMARY:Lecture – “Washington’s Marines: The Origins of the Corps and the American Revolution\, 1775-1777”
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, November 4 at 1:30 PM\, commemorate the Marine Corps birthday with Jason Q. Bohm (Maj. Gen. USMC) as he discusses his book on the founding and early years of the corps. \nThe story begins with the oppressive days that drove America into a conflict for which it was ill-prepared\, when thirteen independent colonies commenced a war against the world’s most powerful military with nothing more than local militias\, privateers\, and other ad hoc units. \nIt continues with the creation of the Continental Marines and the men who led them during the parallel paths followed by the Army and Marines in the war’s opening years and the early successes and failures at Lexington and Concord\, Bunker Hill\, Canada\, Boston\, Charleston\, and more. The story concludes as Washington’s Marines join their fellow soldiers in a protracted land campaign that culminated in turning-point victories at Trenton\, Assunpink Creek\, and Princeton. \nThis event will be held in-person in the Visitor Center. It will also be live-streamed on Zoom. Log-in information will be sent following registration. Registration is required for both in-person and virtual attendance.

SUMMARY:Lecture – “Prisoners of Congress: Philadelphia’s Quakers in Exile 1777-1778”
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday\, September 27 at 7 PM\, Norman E. Donoghue II will discuss his new book\, Prisoners of Congress: Philadelphia’s Quakers in Exile at the Washington Crossing Historic Park Visitor Center Auditorium. The event is free to attend but registration is required. Click here to register. \nIn 1777\, Congress labeled Quakers who would not take up arms in support of the War of Independence as “the most Dangerous Enemies America knows” and ordered Pennsylvania and Delaware to apprehend them. In response\, Keystone State officials sent twenty men—seventeen of whom were Quakers—into exile\, banishing them to Virginia\, where they were held for a year. \nPrisoners of Congress: Philadelphia’s Quakers in Exile\, 1777-1778 (Penn State University Press\, 2023) reconstructs this moment in American history through the experiences of four families: the Drinkers\, the Fishers\, the Pembertons\, and the Gilpins. Identifying them as the new nation’s first political prisoners\, Norman E. Donoghue II relates how the Quakers\, once the preeminent power in Pennsylvania and an integral constituency of the colonies and early republic\, came to be reviled by patriots who saw refusal to fight the English as borderline sedition. \nSurprising\, vital\, and vividly told\, this narrative of political and literal warfare waged by the United States against a pacifist religious group during the Revolutionary War era sheds new light on an essential aspect of American history. It will appeal to anyone interested in learning more about the nation’s founding. \nDr. Patrick Spero\, the former Librarian & Director of the American Philosophical Society’s Library & Museum\, has written of Ned’s book that it “brings to life one of the most important and compelling events of the American Revolution in Philadelphia” and that it is “an untold story of national significance.” \nThe talk will be held in-person only. Books will be available for purchase and a book signing with the author will be held after the talk.  This event is hosted by the David Center for the American Revolution at the American Philosophical Society.
