Princeton Battle Monument, Memorial sculpture at Nassau Street, Princeton, United States.

The Princeton Battle Monument features a limestone relief depicting General Washington on horseback leading troops during the Revolutionary War engagement.

Frederick MacMonnies and Thomas Hastings constructed this 50-foot memorial in 1922 to honor the American victory at Princeton on January 3, 1777.

The monument design incorporates elements from the Paris Arc de Triomphe, including a female figure wearing a Phrygian cap representing Liberty.

Visitors can access the monument daily at the intersection of Stockton Street and Nassau Street, with illuminated evening viewing available.

The structure contains carved inscriptions in Latin and English that detail Washington's leadership and the battle's impact on American independence.
