Located in the city's Five Points neighborhood, the Trenton Battle Monument is a column-style monument topped with a statue that was erected to celebrate the American victory in the first Battle of Trenton in 1776. Not only was this victory a significant strategic success, but it also served to boast the morale of the Americans who were fighting the war for independence. The elevator that's meant to take visitors to the top of the monument has been out of service for several years, but there are some benches at the base where you can relax and admire the views.
