I live close to Washington's crossing on the NJ side. It is a very pretty spot to visit any time of year and a great place to take a long bike ride with the family. If anyone is driving down I-95 going across the Delaware River a stop over is worth it.
We are happy to have been able to live right at the site of Washington's Crossing on the other side of the river for over one score years. We'll have thousands and thousands of visitors here in a few hours for the annual reinactment. Current conditions are fog and 34 degF. River was in a good stage yesterday -- hopefully they WILL cross. No ice at all. Unlike the the original crew in the hard night of 1776 the reinactors of two-aught-aught are dang finicky and have waltzed the narrow bridge on foot when river conditions at 1 PM daylight aren't exactly still and calm.
Still,they do make a fine and education affair of it all -- the costumes, campfires, tents, pomp, and even in recent the two-aught-aught's very nice and spirited horses.
Spirited enough to give one play-acted General Washington a serious ankle sprain. The reinactor responded with as bursque and dread an oath as Washington himself was said to have at appropriate times emitted. Thankfully for us modern viewers his wireless mike was off.
