This next walk in my Revolutionary War series will take us to the Princeton Battle Monument, past and present official residences of the governors of New Jersey, Albert Einstein’s house from when he was with Princeton’s Institute for Advanced Study (1938 - 1955), and part of the Princeton University campus. We’ll have lunch somewhere in town.

If you’re going from New York, take the New Jersey Transit train to Trenton leaving Pennsylvania Station at 10.16 AM. Get off the train at Princeton Junction and take the shuttle train to Princeton leaving at 11.40, a 5-minute ride. If you’re driving, you might park at Princeton Junction and take the shuttle train. Round-trip rail fare from New York to Princeton is $40.80 ($18.80 senior/disabled), but if two of you are traveling together at full fare you can get a buy-one-get-one-free discount by using the NJTransit app. Details are at https://www.njtransit.com/bogo.

We will gather at the Princeton station upon arrival of the shuttle, scheduled at 11.45. We will not wait for latecomers, so let me know that you’re coming and be on time.

In the event of inclement weather this walk will be rescheduled with 24 hours notice, so watch this page!
