The Battle of Princeton(link is external) on January 3, 1777, marked a turning point in the war, when the British troops holding Nassau Hall surrendered to General George Washington. In 1783, the building served as the nation's capitol, housing the Continental Congress from June to November. It was in Nassau Hall that the news of the peace treaty with Great Britain was received.Original file name Nassau Hall (1).jpeg4219 x 2813Each photograph within this collection is protected by copyright and/or related rights.
