We’re proud to recognize Stephen von Hohen, owner of Makefield Painting, for his continued generosity and dedication to preserving the historic character of Washington Crossing Historic Park. Most recently, Stephen donated his time, materials, and expertise to restore the cannon at the Visitor Center and complete painting work at the Thompson-Neely Mill—helping to ensure these iconic features are well-maintained and ready to welcome visitors as we prepare the park for the 250th anniversary in 2026.
Stephen is no stranger to the park. In addition to being a reenactor in our annual Christmas Day Crossing since 1990, he also supported the renovation of the Thompson-Neely Mill in 2017—demonstrating a long-standing dedication to our mission and history.
