"A children's guide to the Ivy Leagues most exciting and historic college town" Princeton, New Jersey is home to one of the most exciting college towns in the Ivy League. Founded in 1746, Princeton University is the fourth oldest college in America. It has produced two of history's greatest United States Presidents, a wide array of actors, politicians, even astronauts and was home to one of the most intelligent people in history, Albert Einstein. This charming little community is abundant with a wealth of history and beauty. Join child author, Zachary Malott in this exciting exclusive look into Princeton. With its Neo-Gothic architecture, the campus hosts a wide array of visually stunning and historic buildings, including Nassau Hall which housed Princeton University for over 50 years, served as the nation's capital for four months during the summer of 1783, as well as barracks for the British during the Revolutionary War and played a major role in the 1777 Battle of Princeton where Washington defeated the British against overwhelming odds. We'll also explore other interesting and important sights throughout Princeton including the downtown area, Princeton Battlefield, which is now a state park, the Einstein residence and we'll even take a look at the long and rich football history which Princeton has played a major role in.
