Dairy lovers are invited to learn how American colonists made cheese and butter at Washington Crossing Historic Park’s free Dairy Day on Sunday, May 22 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The culinary art of dairy making was developed centuries ago, before the advent of commercial butter and cheese production, using basic equipment and techniques. Visitors can watch as a historical interpreter churns butter and makes homemade cheese in the Hibbs House. A lucky few can try their hand at the kitchen tools used in Washington’s day.
The park will be open that day for regular tours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Washington Crossing Historic Park commemorates the site of General George Washington’s famous Delaware River crossing on Christmas Day 1776. The park is located at the intersection of Routes 32 and 532.
