Nassau Hall, built in 1756, was the university's first permanent building at its current location. It served for a time as the seat of government of the United States and remains the university's administrative headquarters today. The surrounding part of the old campus grew in the 18th and 19th centuries with additional buildings in the colonial and neo-Gothic styles. It is compactly laid out, clearly structured, and forms the historic center of the university. Central academic and administrative activities still take place here today.

Carnegie Lake, stretching across parts of central New Jersey, owes its existence to an unusual encounter: a conversation between a painter and Andrew Carnegie. Built in the early 1900s for Princeton’s rowing team, the lake quickly became more than just a training site. Locals fish here, paddle, or stroll along the quiet banks. Pollution has taken its toll, but efforts to clean the water are ongoing.

Built in 1907 at the meeting point of Stony Brook and Millstone River, the Lake Carnegie dam created the lake enjoyed by rowers and the community. After a century of upkeep, repairs were needed again in 2015. This is a great place to watch races.
