Concerned Preservationists: Mark Your Support for Princeton Battlefield

The Ten Crucial Days between George Washington’s Christmas crossing of the Delaware River and the January 3, 1777, Battle of Princeton changed the course of the Revolutionary War. 

As the 250th anniversary of this decisive battle approaches, the Trust alongside the Princeton Battlefield Society and New Jersey State parks, Forests & Historic Sites, has launched the Reimagining Princeton project to transform Princeton Battlefield State Park.

The multi-year initiative is aimed at restoring the battlefield’s historic landscape and enhancing its educational and interpretive offerings. State Senator Andrew Zwicker and Assemblywoman Mitchelle Drulis have introduced a Budget Request for $1 million to improve visitor amenities and support battlefield restoration activities at Princeton Battlefield State Park in preparation for America’s 250th birthday in 2026.

Please join us in supporting Reimagining Princeton by signing our petition for the inclusion of $1 million in New Jersey’s FY2026 budget, helping preserve and share the rich history of Princeton.
