George Washington’s daring 1776 Christmas Day crossing of the Delaware River and defeat of the Hessians in Trenton is considered a turning point in the Revolutionary War. Join fellow citizens from around the country on Sunday, December 10, for a Bucks County tradition featuring several hundred reenactors clad in Continental military dress and George Washington himself. Listen as General Washington delivers an inspiring speech and then leads his troops across the river in replica Durham boats. In addition to the crossing reenactment, special colonial-era activities and demonstrations throughout the historic village provide your family with a full day of fun and learning. (actual crossing at 1 PM)
