January 5, 2025 | Hedgerow
On Sunday January 5th we begin at the Visitor Center and walk to the Hedgerow at the center of the battlefield. Learn how over 2,000 British infantry rushed the hedged fence and its 800 Continental defenders. The charge briefly stalled here as the two sides fired at each other at point-blank range. Due to the fierce fighting, the Hedgerow changed hands at least eight times during the battle. This tour also visits Oswald’s Knoll and follows the Americans retreat to the Parsonage Farm where they held off the British and the Battle of Monmouth ended.
