Washington鈥疌rossing State Park is the site of General George Washington’s historic 1776 Christmas night crossing of the icy Delaware River.鈥疐or almost ten hours, boats and ferries moved continuously back and forth carrying men, horses, and cannons to New Jersey.鈥疊y midnight a strong storm had developed, hurling sleet, hail, and snow at the rebel army.鈥疞anding at Johnson’s Ferry, the Continental Army still faced an arduous nine-mile march to Trenton as the storm continued with a vengeance.鈥疪eaching Trenton in the early morning of December 26, the American Army surrounded, defeated, and captured over 900 Hessian mercenaries and secured a morale boosting victory of immeasurable proportions. Washington Crossing State Park was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1971 and listed on the State and National Registers of Historic Places in 1966 and 1971.
