    Park Description:

    It was to Jockey Hollow in January 1777 that George Washington brought his troops after their successful campaign against the Hessians at Trenton and the British at Princeton.  The natural fortifications of the hills and ready source of supplies gave the army a chance to rest and regroup before the summer's campaign.   The troops returned to Jockey Hollow during the winter of 1779-80, during which time 28 storms blasted the area, keeping critical supply routes closed.
