Overview

Princeton Battlefield State Park preserves the ground of the January 1777 battle where George Washington's forces defeated British regulars in a victory that boosted morale in the Revolution. The Quaker Clarke House served as a field hospital, and paths lead across meadows past the site of the Mercer Oak.
