Washington Crossing State Park

Washington Crossing State Park marks the exact site where General George Washington led the Continental Army across the icy Delaware River on Christmas night, 1776—a bold and strategic move that led to the surprise victory over Hessian forces in Trenton the next morning. This daring operation reinvigorated the American cause at a critical moment in the Revolution. Today, the park immerses visitors in this turning point through reenactments, historic monuments, and interactive educational programs that honor the courage and coordination behind one of America’s most legendary military feats.
