From the December American Battlefield Trust 2021 Calendar.
PRINCETON, NEW JERSEY
24 acres saved.
On January 3, 1777, General George Washington personally led a daring charge against British regulars and reinvigorated the spirit of America's War for Independence at Princeton.
In one of the most high-profile victories, the Trust worked with the State of New Jersey, Mercer County, the Princeton Battlefield Society and other local partners to save 14.85 key acres of the battlefield, valued at a stunning $4 million.
This occurred a short time after the surprise he gave the British at Trenton on December 26, 1776.
Thanks Trust. Glad I Belong. --Cooter
