Wheat and Sheep Day 2026, Washington Crossing State Park
Join us on Saturday, April 18, 2026, from 10 AM to 4 PM as we welcome spring at Washington Crossing Historic Park with a day of hands-on history and family fun at the Thompson-Neely Farmstead. This special event invites visitors to explore how wheat and wool were essential parts of daily life in early America through interactive demonstrations, historic tours, and engaging activities for all ages. Throughout the day, enjoy traditional hand shearing demonstrations, tour the historic grist mill, and learn how raw materials like fleece and grain were transformed into everyday necessities during the colonial period. Visitors will also have the opportunity to tour the Thompson-Neely House, recently renovated with a new exhibit unveiled in 2025, for the 250th anniversary, making this a perfect time to come back for a visit.
