Join us on Sunday, February 16, from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM at Washington Crossing Historic Park (PA) for a fun-filled celebration of George Washington’s 293rd birthday!

This family-friendly event features hands-on activities for kids, including Quill Pen Writing, Whirly-Gig Game making, and a soldiers’ drill. Visitors can also enjoy Colonial Cooking, Spinning, Blacksmithing, Musket Firing, Artillery demonstrations, and more. The museum and gift shop will be open to explore.

Children 12 and under are encouraged to participate in the park’s “Let’s Draw George” contest. Create a handmade birthday card or piece of art featuring George Washington in any medium or style—creativity is encouraged! Contest entries can be brought to the event, made onsite, or mailed to:

Friends of Washington Crossing Park
1112 River Road
Washington Crossing, PA 18977

All submissions must be received by February 19 and should include the artist’s name, address, phone number, and age on the back.

At 1:45 PM, gather in the Visitor Center to sing Happy Birthday to General Washington and watch as he cuts his birthday cake with his sword! The cake is generously donated by The Caketeria in Newtown.

Koffee Time will be on site with coffee and small bites available for purchase. This event is free, thanks in part to the generous support of NJM Insurance Group.

Don’t miss this exciting celebration—we can’t wait to see you there!
