Join us for a tour of the Princeton Battlefield State Park and Clarke House, the place where American independence took root. The Princeton Battlefield State Park is one of the most significant Revolutionary War sites in New Jersey, where General George Washington led American troops to a pivotal victory on January 3, 1777. Likewise, the historic Clarke House, home a third-generation Quaker family of the Stony Brook Quaker Settlement, was transformed into a field hospital after the battle, taking in both British and American wounded. Participants on this tour will learn about these important landmarks and historical era from Resource Interpretive Specialist at the Princeton Battlefield State Park, Will Krakower. The tour will begin at Clarke House. You do not have to be a member of the AIA to attend, and there is no charge to attend this event, but participants are asked to RSVP in advance.

This event has been graciously supported by the Albert H. Clayburgh Lecture in Archaeology fund.
