The Clarke House, built by Thomas Clarke in 1772, witnessed the fierce fighting of the Battle of Princeton on January 3, 1777.

The house served as sanctuary for General Hugh Mercer, who died there nine days after the battle.

This house was built in 1814 as a residence by the Reverend Samuel Miller, second professor of Princeton Theological Seminary. The site had been formerly occupied by the home of Samuel Miller’s father-in-law, Jonathan Dickinson Sergeant, one of the authors of New Jersey’s Constitution. The Sergeant house was destroyed by fire by the British during their occupation of Princeton in December 1776.

This Ionic Colonnade was designed by Thomas U. Walter, the architect of the US Capitol Building. This colonnade was actually once the portico of a house. The colonnade was relocated to this spot to mark the final resting place of 15 unidentified American and 21 unidentified British soldiers killed in the Battle of Princeton on January 3, 1777.

Located on Quaker Road, on the west side of Princeton, the Stony Brook Meetinghouse was witness to the hostilities early on the morning of January 3, 1777. Washington’s troops passed through Stony Brook as they retreated through the night after fighting the Battle of Trenton.

George Washington was residing at Rockingham when he wrote his farewell address to his troops. Rockingham is located a short distance from Princeton. The house has been moved from its original location from across the street to prevent its demolition.

General Hugh Mercer was mortally wounded near a large oak tree close to the center of the battlefield. This plaque marks the stump of the famous "Mercer Oak".
