Washington Crossing State Park

About Washington Crossing State Park

On December 25, 1776, the icy waters of the Delaware River provided the perfect backdrop for the opening of Washington Crossing State Park in Delaware County, Delaware.

On December 25, 1776, General George Washington and the Continental Army landed in what is now Washington Crossing State Park after crossing the harsh winter river at night. Around the clock in the morning the battle for Trenton began, where the Hessian troops had been defeated in an unexpected attack. The battle was quickly followed by a series of skirmishes in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Delaware County. At the end of the first day of fighting, however, they seemed overwhelmed by hunger and cold and had little to celebrate.

Although originally preserved for its historical importance, the park is also known for its hiking trails and wildlife habitat. A large number of migratory birds use the gorge as a resting and nesting place, and numerous bird watching and bird watching routes have been established.

Among the most notable species are white and deer, red and shoulder falcons. The park has a wonderful variety of spring and summer wildflowers. The park offers a wide range of plants, including grasses, shrubs and trees, as well as many bird species, mammals, reptiles and amphibians.

A few days before Christmas, the first day of New Year's celebrations in New York City, it seemed that hunger and cold were outstripping them, leaving them with little to celebrate Christmas with.

General Washington and other officers used the house as their base of operations as they crossed the Delaware coast on Christmas night. The living room, bedroom and textile room were furnished with furniture from the local period, which was probably used by the Johnson family from 1740 to 1770. It belonged to Garret Johnson, who ran a small textile factory in the 17th century on the site of what is now Washington Crossing State Park.

The property also includes an 18th century kitchen and garden, and the original stone and brick walls of the house date back to the late 17th century.
