The Route of George Washington’s 1777 March, Trenton, NJ
This was a trip I took starting in Trenton, NJ, to find the 12 History Markers that recorded the march and victory that George Washington did on January 3, 1777, from Trenton, NJ to Princeton, NJ. These History Markers were erected in 1914, and still exist. These Markers were not easy to find, but with help of The Historical Marker Database, I was able to find all 12 of them. You can see more about The Historical Marker Database at https://www.hmdb.org/, and specifically about the Route of Washington’s March at https://www.hmdb.org/m.asp?m=4074.

Love Trenton history
Well done
Great
Brilliant story
I encourage everyone to read “The Battles of Trenton and Princeton” by William S. Stryker. Thanks for the marker photos!
Thank you for this. I just drove from #1 to #6 -- Trenton to Quaker Bridge, and your guide made it very easy to find all 6 markers. The photos helped so much, especially for the one in the Greenwood Cemetery. I plan to do the other 6 markers tomorrow.

Good job! I drove 4 hours yesterday from Washington Crossing to Princeton and only found 6 markers.
Very cool
