Drought may prevent the two reenactments of Washington and the Continental Army crossing the Delaware River on Christmas night in 1776 due to the low level of the river. The first reenactment was scheduled for Sunday, December 8, and the second on Christmas Day. The Coast Guard will determine whether the event can take place. The Durham boat could get stuck in the mud, and the water must be high enough for dock installation.
