Princeton Battlefield State Park, Princeton

There is something special walking in the footprints of giants. Walking around a brisk December afternoon it is easy to imagine General Washington rallying his troops to the first major victory over British regulars. Thousands of soldiers striding across the frozen fields. The roar of cannons and thunder of hoof beats and musket fire. The now quiet landscape where the history of our nation was changed.

Huge park with a deep historic background. Flat trails. Parking can be limited. I highly recommend attending the enactment of the Princeton battle. I attended the one in the winter. There were actors in costume, fake explosive devices but they sounded real, and historians voiced over. It was great fun!

It is a historic park holding important historical facts. Parking was not difficult but directional signs were not sufficient. Still I enjoyed the park while imagining the historic wars.

A great place to stop by in the area if you’re looking to get a bit of a history lesson. It was very relaxing and open, there was nobody there when we visited. There is no pavement to walk up to the house, so wear sneakers. It could have used some seating too, as there were no benches to be found outside. It’s wide open and a great place to enjoy the peace of nature.

Beautiful park. A must visit. Trails, monuments and well kept grounds. Very peaceful and clean.
