Is the Battlefield Park the most “pristine” Revolutionary War battlefield?
Most battlefields from the War of Independence have been developed or changed over the past 225+ years. The Paoli Battlefield site, however, has either remained as its original farmland and woods (the portion east of the grave site) or has been protected since the early 1800’s as a Parade Ground. The area where most of the fighting took place still looks much as it did in 1777.
