Now here's a really cool event for Thanksgiving Eve.
Celebrate "Evacuation Day" with the Crossroads of the American Revolution National Heritage Area and history community activists on Wednesday from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at seven sites in New Jersey where xenon light displays will reach into the sky to provide a modern day reenactment of the signal fires that burned 226 years ago to celebrate the evacuation of New York City by the defeated British army.
The beacon sites, which will actually stretch 108 miles from Princeton to Beacon, N.Y., closely replicate signal locations used by the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War.
