Despite the snow and low water levels, over 1,200 visitors gathered at Washington Crossing Historic Park for our First Crossing event, bringing the spirit of 1776 vividly to life through living history, military drills, artisans, and hands-on learning. The weather, though challenging, offered a glimpse into the harsh winter conditions General Washington and his troops enduring during the crossing ❄️ We were honored to be joined by our event narrator and featured author, Tom Hand, Founder of @AmericanaCorner with remarks from Matthew Darragh, Chief of Staff for @America250_PA, who provided a generous grant in support of this event. We are also deeply grateful for the support of more than 50 volunteers along with members of local emergency services teams, whose dedication helped make this event possible 🤝 Thanks to your incredible generosity: 🎁 $9,658 raised on GivingTuesday 💙 $21,354 raised at First Crossing 📈 $46,371 raised toward our $70,000 goal As we look ahead to Christmas Day and our 250th anniversary in 2026, your support ensures this powerful tradition remains free and accessible to all 🛶 Help us cross the finish line and be part of history in the making: washingtoncrossingpark.org/d… 🔗 Thank you to Brian Wagner of B Wags Photography for these photos 📸 #CrossingReenactment #FirstCrossing #LivingHistory #WashingtonCrossingHistoricPark

This is not a drill, today is the #FirstCrossing! Ticketing is open & the festivities have begun. As of now, we are still on track for all scheduled activities, including the river crossing. #WashingtonCrossingHistoricPark #CrossingReenactment #DelawareRiver

I decided on a new vantage point for yesterday’s arrival of @cunardline’s #QueenMary2. Welcoming her to @flynncruiseport #Boston has been my July 4 tradition for many years. This one was most exciting as we just booked our #FirstCrossing on this magnificent #OceanLiner. -Lisa

Abundant winter rainfall rejuvenated plant & animal species, raised the water levels of our lakes & reservoirs and turned dry riverbeds into flowing streams. These storms have also led to gate closures for public safety concerns. #SBRD #FirstCrossing

A favorite photo of ours, taken at Sunday's #FirstCrossing reenactment here at Washington Crossing Historic Park. If you couldn't make it, be sure to visit for our 66th annual reenactment on Christmas Day! #ThrowbackThursday

During the #FirstCrossing on December 9, General Washington surveyed the Delaware River with his officers prior to the crossing. If you couldn't make it for this year's First Crossing, we hope to see you at the 66th annual Christmas Day reenactment!

Did you attend today's #FirstCrossing reenactment? Tag your photos #GeorgeCrossedHere to share with us! If you couldn't make it today, be sure to attend Christmas Day, when the 66th annual reenactment starts at 1 PM.

'And so the scene was set on 21 February 1968 for the final farewells, and the start of a journey that would define us. But even from the very first day we were fighting to stay alive' #wallyherbert #leadership #Motivation #exploration #firstcrossing #anniversary #Arctic #inspire
