As you stand on the beautifully manicured grounds of Monmouth Battlefield State Park basking in the sun, imagine what it was like on that scorching hot in 1778 when George Washington led the attack known as the Battle of Monmouth. Of course, the battle has long been over and today you can hike, horseback ride, or picnic in the park—all under the same sun that presided over the bloody combat.
