Princeton Battlefield’s Next Chapter Starts Here!

Although not Civil War, this American Revolution site is nearby…

The American Battlefield Trust cordially invites you to a special community meeting to discuss an exciting new initiative: a reimagining of the Princeton Battlefield, including the opportunity for a Visitor and Education Center. The meeting will be held at Morven Museum & Garden on Tuesday, October 7 at 6:30pm.

Please RSVP to Oct7Princeton@gmail.com

The Visitor and Education Center will provide important improvements for Princeton, including:

Increasing appreciation of the battle and interpretive educational opportunities, as well as the importance of preserving this amazing story of American resilience as part of the 10 Crucial Days that changed the course of our nation.Creating a better understanding of not only the experience of the men who fought here, but how the battle impacted those men, women and children who lived in Princeton in 1777 as well.Preserving and making more accessible green space for community use of the park including the replanting of 18th Century trees and cropland. Enhancing Princeton’s appeal as we approach our nation’s Semiquincentennial and creating local job opportunities through increasing the time visitors spend in the area.Generating growth opportunities for local historical groups including the Princeton Battlefield Society and other local and regional partners.

Please RSVP to Oct7Princeton@gmail.com and join us in this forward-looking discussion. We look forward to your involvement and to seeing you on October 7.

Sincerely,

Jim Campi, Chief Policy and Communications Officer
