Thompson-Neely Evening Encampment Tour

General George Washington’s crossing of the Delaware River invokes memories of the Continental Army struggling for its survival through the harsh winter weather, poor shelter, and scant clothing. Come join us on Saturday, December 13, 2025 as our living historians take you back in time to experience the reality of the encampment at the Thompson-Neely farm on which several regiments of the Continental army were quartered. This immersive experience will put you in the midst of what daily life was like for the soldiers, how they lived, what they ate, and most importantly how they survived the conditions before they crossed the Delaware River and went on to win at Trenton. Visitors will go through a series of vignettes, each designed to illuminate a different aspect of life for soldiers and civilians. Dive into history on the ground where it actually happened. Come away with a newfound appreciation for this story of survival, not just one of the people, but of the nascent nation. We hope you will join us for this unique and unforgettable experience!
There are two tour times available, 1:30pm and 3:30pm. The cost for this special tour is $10 per person. Recommended for ages 12+, For questions or more information, please contact Alex Robb at Arobb@friendswcp.org
