For more than 25 years, Washington Crossing Historic Park’s current orientation film has introduced visitors to the extraordinary story of George Washington’s daring crossing of the Delaware River and the ensuing Ten Crucial Days campaign.
Now, as we commemorate the 250th anniversary of these pivotal events, Friends of Washington Crossing Park is proud to unveil a brand-new orientation film that will bring this remarkable chapter of American history to life for generations to come.
Scheduled to premiere on Veterans Day, the film anchors a special evening that will honor the generations of American service members whose courage, sacrifice, and commitment to our country carried forward the legacy of those who fought for our independence during the Revolutionary War.
