Immediately following the ceremony, the community has been invited to the annual picnic at the American Legion post.
In Solebury Township, Washington Crossing Historic Park will hold a Memorial Day observation at 1638 River Road on Sunday at 1 p.m.
There observation will feature colonial color guard, a fife and drum corps, Revolutionary War reenactors, veterans, and other honored guests. During the ceremony, American flags will be placed on all of the graves.
“The gravesite itself holds a special place in the hearts of history enthusiasts and serves as a testament to the soldiers who perished during the Continental army’s December 1776 encampment in Bucks County. Although the Delaware River crossing and the First Battle of Trenton resulted in no American casualties, a number of soldiers succumbed to exposure, disease, or prior injuries. Notably, the plot contains the resting place of Captain-Lieutenant Moore, the only veteran whose identity has been confirmed,” the park said.
