Description

On December 8, from 11 am to 3:30 pm, we invite you to experience both the Crossing and the March to Trenton through the eyes of the men and women who lived it. The event occurs on the same day as the Pennsylvania Park’s "First Crossing" of the Delaware. Reenactors who cross with Washington will be met by our General Nathaneal Greene, who will invite them to an encampment on the bank of the Delaware. 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. Visitors will also be welcomed to the nearby Nelson House, where hot cider and donuts will be served in front of a roaring fire. Cannons, musket-fire, and a food truck will be on hand! Free to enter, but a $10/carload donation is requested.
