Reply to comment by metsurf in The Battle of Princeton occurred 246 years ago today, ending in a small victory for the Colonials. After the battle, Washington moved his army to Morristown, and with their third defeat in 10 days, the British evacuated southern New Jersey by rollotomasi07071

We relocated from Illinois to Morris County for about 6 years and it was amazing how much Revolutionary War history there was in the area. Jockey Hollow was quite an eye-opener, as was when a reenactor at the Colonial Farm there joked that the farmhouse on site was probably the ONLY place in New Jersey that no one claim Washington visited, as History shows he never visited the troops in Jockey Hollow at all while they were there.

I haven't been to any of the sites since my son was in elementary school. The HQ is in Morristown proper and there is a house called Schuyler Hamilton house where Hamilton met Elizabeth Schuyler his wife. The owner's apparently set them up.
