The Washington Crossing Historic Park Book Club invites history enthusiasts to explore the American Revolution through engaging discussion and carefully selected readings. Led by the park’s Museum Curator, Kimberly McCarty, the club meets virtually via Zoom and focuses on books that shed new light on the Revolutionary era, with special emphasis on the events surrounding the Delaware River crossing and the 1776 campaign. Free and open to all, meetings typically take place on the third Monday of each month but may be moved depending on other events or the Park curator’s requirements, and provide an opportunity to connect with fellow readers while deepening your understanding of this pivotal period in American history.

Kick off 2026 with the Washington Crossing Historic Park Book Club as we read and discuss Michael D. Hattem’s The Memory of ’76. This thought-provoking work examines how Americans have remembered and interpreted the Revolution over time, challenging familiar narratives and encouraging fresh perspectives. During this virtual Zoom meeting, participants will discuss the Introduction – Chapter 5 with guidance from the park’s curator and fellow readers. The program is free to attend, participants are responsible for obtaining their own copy of the book. Registration is required to receive the Zoom link.
