Bound Brook

April of 1777 found British and American forces clashing for their first engagement of spring, following the crushing battles of Trenton and Princeton a little over three months prior. Although a significant victory for the British, the battle fell significantly short of their objectives.

As it seems to be our fate of late, the 2007 reenactment was cancelled due to extensive flooding in the greater Bound Brook area. Although the Staats House was spared the raging torrent, many other homes in the Bound Brook area were not so fortunate.
