    Followed the "Travel Stories" App... Audio tour of Washington's Troops crossing the Delaware and marching onto Trenton and Princeton. This was the last stop. Went on Sunday of the New Year's Weekend, so the visitors center was closed. We were able to walk around the monuments. The audio tour made up for the closed center, so you could feel like you walked history.

    Free Parking here for a walk into Princeton. Take time to read the inscription on the monument and historical information in other nearby signage. For a quiet walk away from Princeton's main retail center, walk the streets directly behind the monument and the Suzanne Patterson center past old, stately homes, cottages, and a mix of new and old architecture. Great in spring and summer when things are in bloom.

    This is a short stop over on your way to Princeton university. There are a number of short period free parking available. The place is especially popular in the spring when flowers are blooming. This is also a popular spot for photos from both directions. There are also a number of wood benches to rest your feet should you have already walked long distance.

    My visit to Princeton Battlefield Park was truly memorable. Steeped in history, this park offers a captivating glimpse into the past. The well-preserved battleground and monuments make it a must-see for history enthusiasts. The serene landscape with open fields and winding trails was a joy to explore. I appreciated the informative plaques that provided insights into the Revolutionary War. Ample parking and clean facilities added to the convenience. A place of reflection and appreciation for our nation's history. Highly recommended for all ages!

    Actually visited the municipal building. The service was great. Didn't have a long wait.

    Very cool historic spot with additional surrounding sculptures and museums. We came a bit too late for the museums to be open so there's not much time to be occupied in this particular spot, but it's not far from the shopping district and many other streets with very old architecture to see.

    Amidst the serene surroundings, the magnificent cherry blossoms have bloomed, painting the walkway with a breathtaking view. The countless trees adorning the pathway leading up to the Princeton Battle Monument are now in full bloom, exuding an enchanting charm that's hard to resist. Can't you believe? Look at the pictures for yourself...

    This monument is an amazing place to take photos at. I particularly like it after dark. There is free (weekends) parking lot behind here. There is also a small park with benches for a quick rest

    The Monument is beautiful, and in same area is Morven Museum, as well as a few cool sculptures on walkway in front of museum. The Albert Einstein Memorial is close as well. We didn't visit Morven Museum yet, but you can walk around house and see gardens as well.as the old pool house. The garden has remnants of an old garden wall as well as great climbing plants. Nice area to walk around. 30 minute public parking spots behind museum. Nice place to walk with kids.

    Beautiful monument. I advise you to walk around and see it from different angles.

    Free! Beautiful, historical and great pictures. It's just a small park, you won't need more than a half an hour there to see it all.

    Quiet place. Beautiful monument. Quick spot to visit while in Princeton area. Actual Battlefield is about a 10 minute drive out of town.
