WASHINGTON CROSSING, N.J. — George Washington made his Christmas Day ride across the Delaware River, and technology manufacturer Lockheed Martin brought its checkbook.
The 57th annual re-enactment of Washington’s daring Christmas 1776 crossing of the river — the trek that turned the tide of the Revolutionary War — took place without problems as thousands watched.
Officials and residents had been scrambling to pay for this year’s re-enactment because of state budget cuts.
But Lockheed Martin Space Systems vowed to donate $400,000 to the Washington Crossing Historical Park.
