General Washington at Princeton Painting

George Washington made two memorable visits to Princeton. In 1777, only ten days after crossing the Delaware on Christmas night and defeating the British at Trenton, he drove the British from Nassau Hall and sent them retreating from Princeton. The second visit was in 1783 during the closing days of the war when he appeared at the Continental Congress which was meeting in Nassau Hall.
