Sunday, June 4, 10:30 a.m., Settlement and Trade Along the Delaware River Before the Canal
During the 18th century and much of the 19th century, Durham boats — the boat best known for its use by General George Washington’s troops to cross the Delaware River before the Battle of Trenton in 1776 — plied the middle and upper Delaware to transport the region’s products to urban markets in exchange for goods not available locally. Join historic preservation expert Dennis Bertland in a fascinating program based upon his research conducted for the Ramseysburg Homestead, an historic site associated with early settlement and trade along the Delaware.
The program is free, and everyone is welcome. No reservations are needed.
