paoli battlefield

some interesting historical markers educate as to the part this park played in the nations history. There's an easy paved loop, a field loop, and a mixed field/wooded loop. There's also an adjacent baseball field. Located in a residential neighborhood, this park is safe and clean with blend of open and defined space.

After driving by the site a couple times we ended having to ask for directions. We found the marker and that was that.

It is hard to believe that this pleasant park is being reviewed. I go by it every day and appreciate the fact that there is a park nestled in the middle of suburbia. As a battlefield it is badly named. The rebel troops were caught unawares at night and then slaughtered by the British. For propaganda purposes the rebels trumpeted this as a battle emphasizing the horribleness of the Brits who caught our troops unawares. That's what you are supposed to do in war. There is one trouble here: the battlefield is not in Paoli but in Malvern.If you want a pleasant place to have a picnic and look at monuments go to this NICE PARK
