Fourth Annual "Washington's Landing in New Jersey", Washington Crossing State Park

Sunday December 14, 2025
11:00 AM - 3:30 PM

Images of Washington crossing the Delaware on Christmas night in 1776 are deeply ingrained in the American imagination — so much so that Pennsylvania's annual reenactments draw thousands of spectators. But what many don't realize is that after that daring Crossing, New Jersey witnessed more Revolutionary War battles and skirmishes than any other colony. On December 14, from 11 am to 3:30 pm, Washington Crossing State Park in Titusville, NJ will welcome Washington's troops and discover what unfolded after they made landfall on New Jersey soil. New Jersey's "Washington's Landing in New Jersey" event is distinct from — yet coordinated with — the "First Crossing" presented by the Friends of Washington Crossing Historic Park in Pennsylvania.
