When the U.S. Mint issues a newly designed quarter in April, Gen. George Washington crossing the Delaware River will be depicted on one side, with an iconic image of President Washington on the other.
The Friends of the Washington Crossing Historic Park are elated that this pivotal moment in U.S. history will be immortalized on the coin for all to see. I m really excited about the quarter . I think our history and the role (the crossing) played is so important because it s the turning point of the American Revolution and the reason we experience so many of the freedoms we do today, said Jennifer Martin, executive director of the group, an organization which helps the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources manage the scenic 500-acre state park in Upper Makefield.
