Crossroads of the American Revolution National Heritage Area

6/2/2012 … back again to Princeton Battlefield SP. This is an NHL and also in the Crossroads of the American Revolution NHA. We walked up to the Clark House, which was built in 1772 and to which, during the battle, the mortally wounded Hugh Mercer was brought. We then walked over to the colonnade, originally part of Mathew Newkirk’s home in Philadelphia, and in 1900 transported to Princeton, and became the entrance of the Mercer Manor, which formerly stood on the east side of the Battlefield.

3/14/2014 ... we drove a short way to Princeton Battlefield SP. This is an NHL and also in the Crossroads of the American Revolution NHA. We first walked over to the colonnade standing all by itself at the end of a field. The colonnade was originally part of Mathew Newkirk’s home in Philadelphia, and in 1900 transported to Princeton, and became the entrance of the Mercer Manor, which formerly stood on the east side of the Battlefield. We then went up to near the Clark House, which was built in 1772 and to which, during the battle, the mortally wounded Hugh Mercer was brought
