George Washington, New Jersey, and The Revolutionary War
Thursday, November 06, 2025, 07:00pm

The two iconic paintings Washington Crossing The Delaware and The Battle of Princeton are both of New Jersey events. So what caused George Washington to spend so much time in the Garden State?

Joel Farkas presents this discussion of Washington’s many connections to New Jersey; major battles including Trenton and Princeton, the two winter encampments in Morristown, and his relationships with key figures like Alexander Hamilton, Aaron Burr, Benedict Arnold, Paul Revere, Thomas Paine, and Baron Von Steuben.
