Mission and programs · 2024

• The Princeton Battlefield Society hosts Experience the Battle of Princeton, an annual re-enactment of the January 3, 1777 battle. January 2024's event was attended by just under 600 spectators despite cold, snowy weather, .

  Expenses $19,159

• Young Patriots Day is a lively and educational afternoon celebrating early American history. Young Patriot's Day offers an immersive experience in 18th-century life-perfect for children, families, and history lovers of all ages. Over 400 children were able to meet historical figures, see demonstrations of 18th-century weaving, medicine, carpentry, science and surveying. They were also able to watch and engage with Revolutionary War reenactors performing military drills and tour the Thomas Clarke House and Museum.

  Expenses $2,303

• The Cadwalader Lecture Series, hosted by the Princeton Battlefield Society, offers a compelling forum for the exploration of Revolutionary War history, with a special focus on the Battle of Princeton, the Ten Crucial Days, and the broader fight for American independence. This ongoing series brings together distinguished historians, authors, scholars, and preservationists to present original research, fresh perspectives, and in-depth discussions about the people, strategy, and legacy of the American Revolution.

• Between June 2024 and February 2025, DEP staff and the Princeton Battlefield Society embarked on an archive project to establish the Thomas Clarke House Archives Collection. Funded with a grant from the Society of Colonial Wars in New Jersey (SCWNJ), the result has been the organization of many documents, artifacts, and other items found in the house that are pertinent to the history of the Clarke family, the land, Thomas' home, and the Battle of Princeton.

  Expenses $8,344

• A grant from the Mercer County Cultural & Heritage Commission allowed the Princeton Battlefield Society to produce a video of the Clarke family experience on January 3, 1777, in the words of Thomas Clarke. The Princeton Battlefield State Park sits largely on land that was part of two farms owned by the Clarke family. The video is educational and is available to the public on the Princeton Battlefield Society's website.

  Expenses $6,920

• Battlefield improvement projects including a map on the battlefield and funding towards the American Battlefield Trust's restoration of the road used by Washington's army on January 3, 1777.

As filed on the 2024 return. A text marked withheld matched a screen for wording that may name a private individual, such as an honorific or "in memory of". Most of what it withholds names no one; it is withheld so that what does is never shown.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

As filed, from the IRS e-Postcard file of 26 October 2026. The IRS publishes only each organization's most recent postcard, so earlier years are not shown. A 990-N carries no financial detail. The postcard also gives the principal officer's address, which is not shown here.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.
