He’s Back

Revo War

George Washington returns to the historic Princeton Battlefield on Saturday, May 23 for a military encampment and mini-re-enactments of the Battle of Princeton, a critical turning point in the American Revolution. General Washington will answer questions at the event, which will also include muskets, cannon, fifes and drums, tactical formations and drills, and a combined arms assault with marching, loading, and firing volleys. Training for Young Patriots and marching in formation are part of the day. Larry Kidder, an editor for the book “The American Revolution in New Jersey: Where the Battlefront Meets the Home Front,” will have books for sale.
