About this park
Princeton Battlefield State Park preserves the site of one of the fiercest battles of the American Revolution. On the morning of January 3, 1777, American troops under General George Washington surprised and defeated a force of British regulars. Washington rallied retreating soldiers by riding between the lines, leading to his first field victory. The famous Mercer Oak once stood near the spot where General Hugh Mercer fell. The park includes the Clark House and walking trails, and is open daily from sunrise to sunset.
