On Friday, July 8th, the brave band will be at Washington Crossing State Park!From this site, General George Washington and men of the Continental Army and militia crossed the Delaware River on Christmas night 1776 and marched to Trenton, New Jersey.
There they attacked and defeated Hessian troops quartered in and around the village.This surprise attack and victory set the stage for Washington's subsequent victories at the Second Battle of Trenton and Princeton.
The Crossing and the Trenton/Princeton campaign have become known as the Ten Crucial Days — a campaign that saved Washington's army from defeat, allowing them to fight another day and achieve ultimate victory.
