The Princeton Battle Monument is an interesting work of art that commemorates the Battle of Princeton, which took place on January 3, 1777 during the American Revolution. The monument was designed by Thomas Hastings and sculpted by Frederick MacMonnies and was ceremonially unveiled in 1922 by President Warren Harding. The large, imposing monument is located at the end of a long, tree and bench lined path and depicts General George Washington on horseback inspiring his troops to victory over the British.
