Revolutionary War event taking place this weekend at Washington's Crossing.


On the weekend of May 18 – 20th, 2012, American and British forces will converge on Washington Crossing Historic Park, on the banks of the Delaware River, to offer a representational living history event with a focus on military life in the war torn colonies.

Guests may see displays of military maneuvers, skirmishing, sentry duties as well as summary courts martial and deserter scenarios. The public will also have the opportunity to visit sutlers and crafters.

This event is a representation of the activity prior to the Crossing. In 1776 there were constant skirmishes and foraging parties engaging along the Delaware River basin for three weeks. We hope to entertain and educate the general public and in so doing continue to honor our forefathers.
