Princeton University

Princeton University relocated to Princeton, from Elizabeth, in 1756 thus several of the original building on campus date back to that period in time. It served as a barracks and hospital during the Revolutionary War. It now encompasses over 1,600 acres and a wide variety of architecture is represented.

The University is also home to the third-largest university chapel in the world, the Princeton University Chapel, noted for its Gothic architecture
