Sharing some photos from The Battle of Princeton, A Living History Event Presented by the Princeton Battlefield Society. 🇺🇸

Over 2,000 attendees stepped onto the historic ground where American independence was fought for and won in Princeton, NJ! It was a powerful, immersive reenactment of the pivotal battle, fought on January 3, 1777.

This annual event honors the courage, strategy, and sacrifice of the men who turned the tide of the American Revolution during the final hours of the Ten Crucial Days campaign. With hundreds of reenactors, narrated battle action, and opportunities to engage with living historians, it was an experience for visitors of all ages.

NJParenting.com is a Proud Partner of Revolution NJ and thrilled to promote events commemorating the 250th Anniversary of the American Revolution. Visit www.pbs1777.org for more details about the Princeton Battlefield Society for a list of events this year.

Our friends at Princeton Battlefield Society continue their Cadwalader Lecture Series on Sept 30 at 6PM, an evening with Richard Bell author of The American Revolution and the Fate of the World, at the Nassau Club in Princeton.

Discover the American Revolution from an entirely new perspective in this compelling presentation by historian and award-winning author Dr. Richard Bell. Rather than viewing the Revolution as a conflict fought only between thirteen colonies and Great Britain, Dr. Bell explores it as a global war that reshaped societies across six continents.

Come learn the far-reaching consequences of the Revolution through the experiences of the people it displaced, empowered, and transformed. This thought-provoking program examines how commerce, diplomacy, migration, propaganda, and warfare combined to create one of the most consequential events in world history—and why its legacy remains relevant today.
