It was the site of the strategic Battle of Princeton in 1777, a turning point in the Revolutionary War. For a brief few months in 1783, Princeton even served as the nation’s capital when the Continental Congress met at Nassau Hall! Today, it remains a vibrant hub of culture, shopping, and world-class education. 🎓 Princeton University, founded in 1746, is the fourth-oldest institution of higher education in the United States. It moved to its current location in 1756 upon the completion of Nassau Hall. Known for its breathtaking "Collegiate Gothic" architecture, the university has been home to legendary minds like Albert Einstein (who worked at the nearby Institute for Advanced Study) and F. Scott Fitzgerald. 💡Local recommendation: The Graduate by Hilton Princeton.
