Monmouth Battlefield State Park preserves eighteen hundred eighteen acres in central New Jersey where the Battle of Monmouth was fought on June 28, 1778, one of the largest engagements of the American Revolutionary War. As Sir Henry Clinton’s army moved away from Monmouth Court House, George Washington tried to strike its rear, but the battle ended indecisively. The park retains orchards, fields, woods, and wetlands that evoke the eighteenth-century landscape, along with surviving farmhouses linked to the fighting, including the Sutfin Farmhouse, Rhea-Applegate House, and Craig House. With artifacts, trails, and the enduring Molly Pitcher legend, it remains one of New Jersey’s most important Revolutionary War sites.
