Washington Crossing (Rehearsal and Reenactment)

Each year along the Delaware, the states of PA and NJ come together to celebrate and reenact Washington's historic crossing of the Delaware River on Christmas Day, 1776, in a bold move that saved the American Revolution.

You can experience it on December 14, at a rehearsal and history fair on both sides of the river at "First Crossing".

And then, on Christmas Day, the actual reenactment takes place.

Come either day, and while you are there, don't forget to check out the plans for the all new Visitor's Center being built overlooking the Crossing on the Jersey side in time for the 250th in December 2026!
