Attention history buffs! Join us for a thrilling livestream adventure as we celebrate George Washington’s “Washington Crossing the Delaware” moment – you know, that one time he decided to take a little boat ride in the middle of the night during a war.
We’ll kick things off with a riveting 15-20 minute overview of the crossing, complete with juicy details about fact, fiction, myth and legend. We’ll even throw in some bonus info about the Battle of Trenton (NJ) and how it played a key role in the American Revolution. Plus, we’ll dish on the iconic “Washington Crossing the Delaware” painting by Emanuel Leutze and other artistic depictions. And of course, we’ll give you the lowdown on “The Crossing” film, starring Jeff Daniels as George Washington.
But wait, there’s more! We’ll follow that up with a 100-minute screening of “The Crossing,” an A&E original production that’s sure to have you on the edge of your seat. And the best part? You can join your fellow history nerds in a live online discussion of the film via Zoom. How cool is that?
So mark your calendars for December 25-26, 1776 (or whenever you’re reading this) and get ready for a wild ride through history with us. And don’t worry, we promise not to make any dad jokes about “crossing the Delaware” or anything like that. Probably. 😅
