4.8 (129)attraction
The historic heart of Princeton University, this stately colonial hall once briefly served as the U.S. Capitol.
Description




Completed in 1756 in the Georgian architectural tradition, Nassau Hall was originally the sole building of the College of New Jersey. The historic structure holds a memorial atrium and faculty room, retaining deep ties to the Continental Congress and American Revolutionary War history. Outside, the setting turns casual, with the surrounding campus lawn offering an open green for walks, picnics, and dog outings.
