Our Visitor Center Gallery has some remarkable new additions ✨ As part of the Washington Crossing 2026 Initiatives to enhance the visitor experience for the 250th anniversary, artifacts on loan from @MercerAndFonthill and @FortTiconderoga are now on display in the Glorious Enterprise exhibit. The loans will remain at the Park through January 17, 2027 🗓️ Among the highlights are an epaulet attributed to Alexander Hamilton, on loan from Fort Ticonderoga, and a chair from the home of Dr. John Chapman, on loan from the Mercer Museum. Hamilton stayed at Chapman’s home while ill during the army’s Bucks County encampment 🏕️ The Mercer Museum has also shared a floorboard from the Keith House, which served as Washington’s headquarters before the crossing, a pistol belonging to Bucks County tavern owner and Continental Army soldier Augustine Willett, and two letters. One letter, written shortly after the Battle of Princeton, relays an unconfirmed rumor that Washington had been wounded 📜 Visitors can also see a recently acquired pewter charger that, according to family tradition, Benjamin Moore used to bring food to Washington as the army marched toward Trenton. We are grateful to the Mercer Museum and Fort Ticonderoga for sharing these artifacts as we prepare to commemorate the Crossing 🛶 Plan your visit to see them in person: tinyurl.com/4k9uxc9t 🔗 #2026Initiatives #ExhibitGallery #GalleryEnhancements #WashingtonCrossingHistoricPark
