The Ten Crucial Days
September 24 at 6:30 pm
Join us in the barn at Updike Farmstead for the story of the desperate hours at the end of 1776 when the American Revolution seemed lost. Struggling through unimaginable difficulties, the Continental Army crossed the Delaware on Christmas, winning three battles in 10 days, culminating in the Battle of Princeton on January 3, 1777. These victories changed the course of history and enabled the birth of our free nation.
Speaking of History
This event series aims to foster civil dialogue around contemporary issues that beg a historical context and perspective.
