Washington Crossing State Park’s 4th Annual ‘Washington’s Landing in New Jersey’

Washington Crossing State Park in Titusville will host its fourth annual “Washington’s Landing in New Jersey” event on Dec. 14, offering visitors a look at what happened after Gen. George Washington’s troops came ashore following the 1776 Delaware River crossing.

The free program runs from 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at Washington’s Grove along the Delaware River. Reenactors from the First Rhode Island Regiment, John Lamb’s Artillery, Motts Artillery, and the 17th Regiment of Infantry will present demonstrations, joined by the New Jersey Fifes and Drums.

Talks will be held throughout the afternoon at a nearby “haybale theater,” including presentations on military medicine, the park’s planned museum, and Washington’s march to Trenton. Visitors can also stop at the Nelson House for hot cider, and food trucks will be on site.

A suggested donation of $10 per car is requested. Shuttle service will be available. More information and parking directions are posted at wcpa-nj.com/landing.
