At 11:45 Am on Saturday Nov. 19th the Revolutionary War reenactors and members of the public will exit the Fort Lee Historic Park at Hudson Terrace and Bridge Plaza South (Bruce Reynolds Blvd) and trace General Washington's steps as we march up Main Street in Fort Lee to nearby Monument Park (1588 Palisade Avenue).  

This is a living history program that commemorates Washington's retreat from Fort Lee in November of 1776.  At Monument Park the reenactors will line in formation and fire a musket salute at the statue to the American Revolution.  

Officials will speak followed by a reception in the adjacent Fort Lee museum. At approximately 1PM  the troops will march back to the Fort Lee Historic Park where they will continue the living history program the rest of the day.
