Each December, thousands of people gather on the banks of the Delaware River to watch the reenactment of George Washington’s daring 1776 Christmas night river crossing. During the event, several hundred re-enactors in Continental military dress listen to an inspiring speech by General Washington and then row across the river in replica Durham boats. Join me on my annual tradition.

The actual crossing, weather-permitting, is at 1pm. Get there at by noon to get a good spot to watch the speeches. Feel free to bring a lawn chair. It's like tailgaiting! There will be a food truck. Feel free to bring your own lunch if you want.

My cell number is (267) 374-4220. I'll probably be wearing a blue down coat and a white hat.
It's free! There's plenty of parking on the grass.
