A group of stalwart reenactors will march on foot from Trenton to Princeton as part of this year’s Patriots Week celebrations in New Jersey.
The group will represent Charles Wilson Peale’s Company at the Battles of Trenton reenactment on Saturday, Dec. 30, and will set off for Princeton in the early morning hours of Sunday, Dec. 31, to recreate the historic march these soldiers took in 1777.
The company will step off from the Old Barracks Museum at 2 a.m. with the goal of arriving at Princeton Battlefield by 7 a.m., the same time the original company arrived to fight over 200 years ago.
Be sure to arrive at the Old Barracks Museum, 101 Barracks St., Trenton, N.J., by 1:30 a.m. if you want to see Charles Wilson Peale’s company set off for their march to Princeton.
