DESCRIPTION

The 1719 William Trent House is the oldest building in Trenton.

It is a rare example of early Georgian architecture in New Jersey

and is situated within a walled, 2-acre site overlooking the

Delaware River. Together with the Trent House Association, the

City of Trenton offers daily tours and a variety of educational

programs for children and adults. The Trent House Association

is working to improve the accuracy of the furnishings using

Trent's 1726 inventory. The site is open for daily tours 12:30

PM to 4:00 PM. Educational programs for children and adults

may be scheduled on or off premises. These include a variety of

hands-on Colonial Kids activities as well as activities relating to

the Colonial kitchen garden.
