The Washington Crossing (New Jersey) Park Association is pleased to announce that on Saturday from 1:00 - 3:00 pm we will host: “John Honeyman, Washington’s Patriot Spy: The Legend,” by Tim Stollery. The program will be at the Washington Crossing State Park Visitor Center, 355 Washington Crossing-Pennington Road, Titusville, NJ.
Come and discover the story of John Honeyman, a Griggstown NJ businessman, who, according to legend, became a spy for General George Washington around the time of the Battle of Trenton. His home still stands near the D&R canal. Tim Stollery is an Emmy-award winning filmmaker, who researched the two-part TV feature series for NJN News in 2000 called “The General and the Spy.” Through his research, Stollery has discovered new primary documentation which reveals that John Honeyman was able to criss-cross enemy lines into British-held New York apparently without suffering any consequences.
At the conclusion of the one-hour presentation, park visitors will watch “The Secret Rebel, “ a 1961 NBC network broadcast special based on the Honeyman legend, starring Hugh O’Brian as John Honeyman.
