Images here, these images are of three of our noteworthy president s. Every ten years or so, about 700 political scientists and historians across the country rank our president s.

American revolution. And the story is, washington and the Continental Army, after having lost battles in new york and retreating across new jersey, came into bucks county and its getting of december 1776. They encampments ever locations around this area, including the tops in the only house which is also part of our park and things were pretty desperate at this point for washington and the patriots cause. The Continental Army really needed a win. Washington was afraid that the british were going to remain in philadelphia and take over the capital and you really knew that what he needed was a bold action and after meeting with his war counsel, they made a decision that on christmas night, they would cross the delaware and march to trenton to attack a post at trenton. As they began to march from the thompson has down here, a snowstorm it started and the weather was terrible, there was snow and hail and it was basically a pretty bad noreaster, and all of these men, 2400 of them all, had t
