Civil War Trust 2017 Calendar-- Part 1: Princeton Battlefield

The Civil War Trust is a major battlefield preservation organization, primarily for the Civil War, but they have expanded to buy acreage in American Revolution and War of 1812 battlefields.  Like they say, once its gone, its gone.  Here are battlefields they have purchased land.

JANUARY--  Princeton, N.J., 6.7 acres.  Battle of Princeton, January 3, 1777.  Princeton battlefield State Park.

In November 2014, Princeton, N.J., served as the backdrop for the official launch of Campaign 1776, our initiative to protect Revolutionary War and War of 1812 battlefields.  The next year, we returned to celebrate the new project's first successful acquisition and transfer the land to Princeton Battlefield State Park.
