Grapeshot 301 Posted December 4, 2018 Many people know that there is a reenactment of Washington Crossing the Delaware every Christmas. But what a lot of you probably don't know is that there is a full dress rehearsal 2 weeks before Christmas. That's right - this Sunday, December 9th. https://www.washingtoncrossingpark.org/events/ We'll be fielding 3 artillery pieces this year, so there will be lots of noise. A great event for the kids too; we'll drill them and turn them into soldiers (OK, small soldiers). I'll be the tall goofy looking guy commanding one of the artillery pieces. Did I mention there will be 3 :)? So come on out and learn some history, support the park, and enjoy a day in the great outdoors. See you there! 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I used to go to this (the Christmas Day crossing, I didn't know about the dress rehearsal) almost every year back when I lived near the park. It's very cool! Check it out if you can.
