You are invited! Join us for an evening on the river—at the very landing where the Revolution moved.


Step onto ground that once launched the Republic. Cooper’s Riverview stands on the colonial ferry landing where John Adams and fellow delegates boarded for Congress, and where Rochambeau’s French troops embarked for Yorktown. Come for the view. Stay for the story.


The evening includes:

  • A scrumptious buffet
  • An after-dinner talk by Dr. Iris DeRode
  • Songs from The Crossing: A Revolutionary New Musical
  • Wines from the Revolution Collection, Unionville Vineyards
  • Malt beverages from River Horse Brewery
  • Comraderie, good humor, memories!

History, hospitality, and a night of music on the Delaware.


Reserve your place. The ferry will not wait!
