A popular locale for bird watchers, the grounds of the Institute Woods and Princeton Battlefield have been walked by historical figures from George Washington to Albert Einstein. On this summer morning, the members of NJYP will take an easy hike through these hallowed grounds nestled on almost 600 acres in the middle of Princeton. After, the group may go out for lunch (or ice cream) in Princeton - totally optional but sure to be fun!
