The Other Crossings, Yardley Historical Association
The Old Library by Lake Afton Author and historian William (Larry) Kidder will present an enlightening program about the almost daily river crossings by General George Washington's troops during the month leading up to the famous crossing and several crossings after the Battle of Trenton. Local militia troops stationed in the Yardley area played a large role in these crossings as did the Yardley ferry. The expanded story will allow a better understanding of what made the Christmas crossing so important and the victory at Trenton possible. No reservations are needed for this program. Seating will be on a first come basis.
