Kid-Friendly Fun: Following the Footsteps of George Washington

by Jennie Porter on February 10, 2020

“Let’s go around the room and share a fun fact about ourselves”. Ah, the dreaded ice breaker. I’ve learned to avoid the awkward scramble to come up with an answer by keeping a tried and true response locked and loaded: “Growing up, I went to a Revolutionary War summer camp.” For three summers at the Old Barracks Museum in Trenton, NJ, my sister and I wore tri cornered hats, and marched in the…

Pairing History with Pints: Yardley & Washington’s Crossing

by Jennifer Rogers Burns on May 29, 2017
