"10 Crucial Days" Bus Tour Announced By Washington Crossing Park

WASHINGTON CROSSING, PA — Reservations are now being taken for a bus tour that will retrace

the 10 crucial days in 1776 that changed the course of American history.

On the "Traversing the 10 Crucial Days" bus tour, historical interpreters will share the story
of George Washington’s daring Delaware River crossing on December 25, 1776 and his
subsequent victories at Trenton, Princeton and areas in between.

Bus tours will be offered on Dec. 4 and 10 and on Jan. 7 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The cost is $150 per person and includes bus fare, lunch and donations to the Friends of Washington Crossing Park, the Washington Crossing Park Association in New Jersey, the Old Barracks Museum in Trenton, and the Princeton Battlefield Society.

The tours begin and end at Washington Crossing, Pa.

Tour participants will travel to each location and hear from historical interpreters Roger
Williams and Larry Kidder about how the terrain, weaponry and weather influenced the ways
the battles were fought and how the lives of the local people were disrupted by them.

Participants will see where armies marched, fought and struggled to survive on an otherwise peaceful landscape, while the course of American history hung in the balance.
