Speaker: Alex Robb, Interpretive Programs Specialist, Friends of Washington Crossing Historic Park

Alex Robb, Interpretive Programs Specialist for the Friends of Washington Crossing Historic Park, will share the captivating story of December 25th, 1776. On that night, George Washington and the remnants of the Continental Army crossed the Delaware River in a Nor'Easter and successfully attacked the town of Trenton, NJ, the following day. This event stole the American Revolution from the clutches of defeat and breathed new life into the struggle for liberty. Robb will share some new scholarship on these amazing events, as well as some recollections of the men who undertook this daring operation.
