Washington Crossing State Park marks the very site where General George Washington led the Continental Army across the icy Delaware River on Christmas night in 1776—a bold and decisive maneuver that led to the surprise victory over Hessian forces in Trenton the following morning. This daring operation reignited the American cause at a critical point in the Revolution. Today, the park brings this pivotal moment to life through reenactments, historic monuments, and interactive exhibits that honor the courage, strategy, and coordination behind one of America’s most iconic military achievements.
