Images of America: Washington Crossing

Winsor Room
Cosponsored by Radnor Historical Society
Registration not required
Robert W. Sands, Jr. and Patricia E. Millen will present an illustrated lecture on their recently published book, Images of America: Washington Crossing.
Washington Crossing is one of America’s most revered historic landmarks. The crossing site is marked by the creation of two historic parks: Washington Crossing State Park, New Jersey, created in 1912, and Washington Crossing Historic Park, Pennsylvania, created in 1917. The book illustrates how these two parks commemorate George Washington’s courage to lead his army across the ice-choked Delaware River on Christmas night 1776 to attack an isolated garrison of Hessians located at Trenton, which would turn the tide of the American Revolution. Books will be available for purchase.
