Market and Muster Day at Washington Crossing Historic Park

Travel back in time and experience
the life of the Founding Fathers during “Market and Muster Day” at Washington Crossing Historic Park – Sunday,
September 22 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Witness Revolutionary War era townspeople
gather at their colonial marketplace and soldiers assemble to drill 18th-century
military tactics. While the soldiers march and fire their muskets, historic
crafters will demonstrate and sell their wares. Families will enjoy a wide
array of activities including crafts, hayrides, music and puppet shows. Visitors
can also shop at the park’s modern gift shop to buy a variety of local crafts,
art, and other goods.

Admission is $8 for adults, $4 for
children age five to 11, and free for those under five. This is a rain or shine
event.

Washington Crossing Historic Park

crossing on Christmas Day 1776. The 500-acre park also includes the
Thompson-Neely House, an 18th-century farmhouse used as a hospital
to care for sick and wounded Continental soldiers, and Bowman’s Hill Tower,
