Free guided battlefield walk: Perrine Hill at Monmouth Battlefield State Park

Join us on a walk up to Perrine Hill which was the main American position during the afternoon of the Battle of Monmouth (June 27, 1778). It was here where the largest full artillery duel of the American Revolution raged. The American 10-gun battery commanded by Brigadier General Henry Knox were arranged along the ridge against the 11 cannons of the British Royal Artillery at the Parsonage Farm. This is where the legend of Molly Pitcher began.

This is a free event. Meet your guide at Monmouth Battlefield State Park’s Visitor Center at 1:30 PM. Appropriate hiking attire is encouraged. If the weather looks questionable, call the park office for information at 732-462-9616. We will be meeting outside near the main doors. NOT ADA accessible.
