SUMMARY:Washington's Landing in New Jersey
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\nDepictions of Washington crossing the Delaware on Chris
 tmas night in 1776 are etched into the American psyche — so much so that
  Crossing reenactments in Pennsylvania attract thousands of visitors each 
 year. But did you know that after the Crossing\, New Jersey saw more revol
 utionary battles and skirmishes than any other American colony?\nLearn wha
 t happened when the troops landed in New Jersey!\nThe Washington Crossing 
 Park Association (WCPA)\, NJ State Park historians\, and the First Rhode I
 sland Regiment\, will provide an opportunity to experience both the Crossi
 ng and the March to Trenton through the eyes of the men and women who live
 d it.\nThis will happen in sync with Washington Crossing Historic Park of 
 Pennsylvania’s “First Crossing” rehearsal event.\nReenactors who cro
 ss with Washington will be met by Ronald Rinaldi\, portraying General Nath
 aneal Greene\, who will invite them to an encampment in the Lower Park\, a
 nchored by members of the First Rhode Island Regiment. The First RI will p
 ortray the roles of Black soldiers\, sailors\, artillerists\, marines and 
 musicians. They will be supported by:\n\n\n 	\nJohn Lamb's Artillery\n\n 	
 \nMotts Artillery\n\n 	\n17th Regiment of Infantry portraying the Hunterdo
 n Militia\n\n 	\nNew Jersey Fifes and Drums\n\n\nVisitors will be welcomed
  at the nearby Nelson House\, where volunteers from the Garden Club of Tre
 nton will serve free hot cider and donuts in front of a roaring fire. A fo
 od truck will be on hand! Free entry\, but a $10 per carload donation is r
 equested.\n\n\n\n
