The public is invited to Washington Crossing Historic Park’s annual Memorial Day observation on Sunday, May 29 at 1 PM at the gravesite of Continental soldiers.
The gravesite is located near the Thompson-Neely House, about two miles south of New Hope at the intersection of Route 32 and Aquetong Rd. (1638 River Road, New Hope).
The observation includes a colonial color guard, the Old Barracks Fife & Drum Corps, Revolutionary War reenactors, the Guardians of the National Cemetery Firing Party, Daughters of the American Revolution, veterans, Boy Scouts, and other honored guests.
The gravesite marks the resting place of soldiers who died during the Continental army’s December 1776 encampment in Bucks County.
Although no Americans were killed during the Delaware River crossing and the First Battle of Trenton, some soldiers succumbed to exposure, disease or previous injuries.
