Monmouth Battlefield State Park
Page 2 (The 225th Anniversary Battle!!)
"One of the largest battles of the American Revolution took place in the fields and forests that now make up Monmouth Battlefield State Park. The park preserves a splendid rural 18th-century landscape of hilly farmland and hedgerows that encompasses miles of hiking and horseback riding trails, picnic areas, a restored Revolutionary War farmhouse and a visitors center." - Battlefield Website, link above.
