As our guest historians and authors relive these special, critical days in securing our independence, we welcome your support of our efforts to inform, educate, and involve people in programs and services focused on the American Revolution, the ten crucial days of 1776-77, and the heritage of what happened at Princeton and afterwards.

The Princeton Battlefield Society requests and welcomes your partnership. Our History & Heritage Fund furthers our efforts to bring the American Revolution to life through new exhibits, displays, and informative materials. Our goal is to turn the historic Thomas Clarke House into a first-class, living history museum and to expand an understanding and appreciation of our American history and the heritage of the ten crucial days. Exploring our military victory is important; so is the human drama of British and American soldiers, civilians and slaves, women and children. They were all part of the ten crucial days. Our History & Heritage Fund will focus on the Battle of Princeton, but it will also tell human stories through exhibits, displays and informative materials. We ask you to help us achieve our goal with a donation today.

We send our thanks - - and hope you enjoy our “American Revolution Diary.”
