Monmouth Battlefield Sate Park is a 1,818-acre state park located on the border of Manalapan and Freehold Township. This park preserves the historical battlefield on which the American Revolution's Battle of Monmouth was waged in 1778. It was one of the largest battles of the Revolution; it took place in the fields and forests, though the battle soon ended in a standoff. The Battle of Monmouth is notable for creating the American legend of Molly Pitcher, a housewife who boldly took her husband's place at the cannon only moments after his death.
