Brandywine Battlefield Park

<p>During the summer of 2022, many profound objects were found at the Red Bank Battlefield Fort Mercer in National Park, New Jersey.  Battlefield Director and Public Historian, Jennifer Janofsky, Wade Catts, the principal archeologist from South River Heritage Consulting, and many local volunteers came together to excavate an addition donated to the Red Bank Battlefield Park.  Jen Janofsky and Wade Catts will recount their time excavating the site. The site of Fort Mercer and the Red Bank Battlefield Park is now known as the only site where Continental forces beat back the British army and Hessian troops during the Philadelphia Campaign in 1777. Visitors can now tour the historic Whitall House, enjoy scenic river views, and take tours of the house and the Red Bank Battlefield.</p>
