A park commission was created in 1917, and they formally dedicated the park in 1921. Over the years millions of visitors have come to the park and contemplated the Crossing, the famed painting of Washington Crossing The Delaware by Emanuel Leutze, picnicked on the grounds, played on the sports fields, and walked their dogs. The first official efforts to memorialize the heroic event began in Pennsylvania in 1895. Both buildings played a role in that fateful evening. They went on to win a decisive victory at Trenton, New Jersey, and then later at Princeton. The battles changed the course of the Revolutionary War. Find out why this park is one of the jewels in the crown of the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission's historic sites.. On Christmas night 1776 George Washington and twenty-four hundred men stepped off from the Pennsylvania side of the Delaware River to cross the icy waterway
