Only several weeks before the Battle of Princeton, Thomas Paine sat in one of Washington’s army camps and wrote, “What we obtain too cheaply we esteem too lightly; it is dearness only that gives everything its value.”
The Princeton Battlefield Society is inspired by those words and since our founding our founding, PBS has worked tirelessly to safeguard this historic battlefield, restore its landmarks, and educate the public about its significance. Through community engagement, educational programs, and preservation efforts, we ensure that the sacrifices made on this sacred ground are never forgotten.
