Preservation at the Battle of Princeton

From the January 2023 American Battlefield Trust calendar.

PRINCETON BATTLEFIELD STATE PARK

The Battle of Princeton concluded the ten-day campaign that began with George Washington's crossing of the Delaware River in Christmas Day 1776.

His counterattack at Princeton -- a ferocious charge across Maxwell's Field -- secured his first victory over British regulars in the field.

The Trust has saved 24 acres at Princeton, including 15 acres at Washington's charge site.  With a grant from the American Battlefield Protection Program and support from local and state partners, the Trust is ready to reinvigorate Princeton's on-site interpretation.
