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.

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!

 

that is just awesome!

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.
