The Battle of Princeton's 248th Anniversary Reenactment

Sunday January 5, 2025
11:00 AM

Experience the Battle of Princeton brings you back to January 3, 1777, to a clash of American Patriots and British Regulars happening on the same field, then the farms of William and Thomas Clarke, Quakers. Today, it is the Princeton Battle State Park. It is a reenactment of the final battle of the Ten Crucial Days of 1776-77 – from Washington's Crossing of the Delaware on Christmas eve, to the battles of Trenton and Assunpink Creek, and the overnight march of Washington's troops to Princeton on the cold morning of January 3. British and American cannons, troop movements, musket firing, and the Patriots' final victory are all narrated for an understanding of American Revolutionary War history and the heritage of the Battle of Princeton. To commemorate those soldiers who fought and died, a memorial wreath-lay ceremony culminates an exciting experience at the Princeton Battlefield. *Ticket Cost: $10
