UPPER MAKEFIELD, PA — The Rebels and Redcoats are gearing up for battle, but this time instead of firing muskets, they’ll be firing up their engines.

The annual Rebels & Redcoats Classic Car Show is scheduled to roll into Washington Crossing Historic Park on Sunday, July 12 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Valley of Concentration parking lot, located across from the Visitor Center. The rain date is July 19.

Following on the heels of the park's Independence Day and the nation’s 250th birthday celebration, the Rebels & Redcoats Classic Car Show offers another way to celebrate America's past, this time through classic automobiles representing the nations who were involved in the American Revolution.
