The Clarke House was built in 1772 and stands as one of the surviving witness structures to the Battle of Princeton. It was here on the Clarke farms that George Washington rallied his forces and defeated the British on January 3, 1777, marking one of the defining moments of the revolutionary war.

For this project I collaborated with Gail Greenberg of Greenberg | Hanadel on the three-dimensional design.

As visitors step into the Clarke House, they are greeted by large-scale wall graphics that narrate the chronological sequence of events leading to the Battle of Princeton. These visuals not only set the historical context but also create a dynamic and engaging atmosphere. Carefully curated artifacts are showcased within custom-designed display cases, each accompanied by detailed graphic panels that provide insights into their historical significance. Visitors can also look out the windows to see where the battle to place and are guided by graphics keyed to the location.

 
The most exciting thing to happen at the Clarke House since the Battle of Princeton.
