https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNnduZXj91c Nov 9, 2023 This Preserving America profile features the Friends of Washington Crossing Park, an advocacy organization for the site where General George Washington crossed the Delaware River on Christmas night 1776 to save the American Revolution. Its mission is to share the powerful story of the crossing and interpret its ongoing impact on world history for both today’s citizens and future generations. The Friends of Washington Crossing Park was established in 2009 when state budget cuts forced the closure of the park. Today, the 500-acre park is split between a “lower park,” the site of General Washington’s famous crossing, and an “upper park” featuring the Thompson-Neely House that served as a temporary regimental army hospital during Washington's 1776-77 winter campaign. The Preserving America Grant Program series profiles recipients that are telling the incredible story of our country from its founding era through its first century as a nation.
