I did this two years ago. It was very nice although the weather would have made the General smile instead of grimace! Then lunch at a beautiful restaurant in the area. I love Bucks County!

Thanks for posting an reenactment of a critical happening in before we were even a country.

I'm reminded of the last major battle of the Civil War, The Battle Of Blakeley Island. Some people wanted to do a re-enactment of that battle...the effort was eventually abandoned because no-one would volunteer to be the Yankees.

Lol @ bad weather stopping them the previous 2 years. Too bad ol’ George and company didn’t have that luxury.

We live twenty miles west of there. Wanted to go for years. Yesterday we and our daughters finally got there and it was great. Weather was perfect and event well done. Strong current forced boats to tack upstream and then across. Great day.

Thanks for posting, DoodleBob, and for the Philly ping, Albion Wilde!

Several posters here on FR have pointed out regularly how President Trump certainly has large brass ones, and, obviously, George Washington and his guys there did too.

Growing up in Philly, our family summer picnics were always up in the beautiful Washington Crossing Park (many years ago), and it is a great place to visit.   (For any who might be interested, here are a few more links you might want to check out related to that park, and another one with more photos of the crossing reenactment.)

       "Bowman’s Hill Tower"

       "Washington Crossing State Park (NJ)"
