Red Bank Battlefield

The Red Bank Battlefield is located along the Delaware River in National Park, Gloucester County, New Jersey.

The central feature of the park is the James and Ann Whitall House, located at the end of Hessian Avenue.

[5] This brick and stone house just outside the works of Fort Mercer, served as a hospital for some of the men wounded in the fighting.

[4] Ann Cooper Whitall had remained in the house during the fighting and tended to the wounded, earning her the epithet "Heroine of Red Bank."

The prominent historical feature of the park is the remains of the ditch which surrounded the now-gone earthworks.

[8] In June 2022 the remains of 13 Hessian soldiers were discovered in land purchased by Gloucester County in 2020 at the northern end of the historical park.
