Red Bank Battlefield, Revolutionary War battlefield and historic site in National Park, New Jersey
The 44-acre park along the Delaware River contains Fort Mercer remains, historical monuments, cannons, and the Georgian-style Whitall House.
On October 22, 1777, American forces at Fort Mercer successfully defended against Hessian troops during a crucial Revolutionary War battle.
The Whitall House, constructed in 1748, displays period furniture and demonstrates the life of early American colonists through regular guided tours.
