The Marblehead Men: Saving the Revolution
Learn about the integrated regiment that most famously helped ferry General George Washington and his army across the Delaware River on Christmas night, 1776, to win a crucial victory at the Battle of Trenton.
In commemoration of the United States 250th anniversary, the Woodson Center introduces "The Marblehead Men - The Integrated Regiment that Saved the Revolution".
History that Builds the Future
A peaceful, prosperous American future is built on a shared understanding of our past that is sometimes painfully truthful, but also celebratory and aspirational. Students need hard facts, but they also need heroes to admire and follow. Our supplementary Black History and Excellence curriculum nourishes developing minds with true stories of struggle, triumph, hope, and resilience.
