Welcome to the Battles of Trenton Home Page

They're coming!  The 225th Anniversaries are coming!   On December 29 & 30, 2001, America's history takes to the streets of Trenton as the town once again hosts the Battles of Trenton Celebration.    Join us as General George Washington and his men rout the British and Hessian soldiers occupying our quiet village of 100 buildings.  Walk alongside our brave soldiers and bear witness to the fighting that turned the tide of war.    Honor the men who fell in service to our fledgling nation and remember, too, the men who gave their lives on foreign soil.   See British General Cornwallis' men attempt to cross the Assunpink--only to be defeated on the 225th attempt as they were on the first.    End the day at the Old Barracks Museum's Grand Illumination.
