Re-enactment of General
George Washington and the Continental Army crossing the
Delaware River on Christmas night 1776 to march to Trenton,
New Jersey. This daring maneuver led to victory in the
Battle of Trenton and altered the course of the American
Revolutionary War.
Note: Each year on Christmas Day, hundreds
of people gather at Washington Crossing Historic Park to hear
Washington's stand-in deliver stirring words to the troops and watch
three boats make the crossing from Pennsylvania to New Jersey.
