The Monument commemorates the January 3, 1777 Battle of Princeton, and depicts General George Washington leading his troops to victory and the death of General Hugh Mercer.

Designed to visually anchor the western end of Nassau Street, the monument and its park are a legacy of the City Beautiful movement. ()
