Bring the whole family to help George Washington celebrate his 287th birthday on Sunday, February 17, from 10 AM to 2 PM at Washington Crossing Historic Park. Admission is free!

Various children’s activities will be offered in the park buildings and Visitor Center. At 2 PM, visitors will sing Happy Birthday to George and enjoy cake, donated by The Caketeria in Newtown, that he will cut with his sword.

Thanks to The Philadelphia Contributionship for supporting this special event.

This year, kids (and kids at heart) can help George have an extra-special celebration by sending him a homemade birthday card.

Cards can be mailed to:
P.O. Box 1776
Washington Crossing, PA 18977

Everyone who sends George a card before his big day will receive a reply from the General himself!

The Friends of Washington Crossing Park, a non-profit formed in 2009 to save the crossing reenactment in the wake of state budget cuts, is turning 10. In honor of the anniversary, the Friends are hosting 10 free events at Washington Crossing Historic Park (PA) over 10 months in 2019. Here’s the current schedule of events.
