Upon first glance at Downtown Trenton, it becomes immediately evident that this city has a rich and storied past. From New Jersey’s halls of governance to relics of the Revolutionary War, it is no secret that history happens here. Whether you’re an out-of-town visitor or a lifelong Trentonian, it is always a wonderful experience to step back and take in the true significance of what this community has achieved. From the birth of our nation to the Industrial Revolution and beyond, there is a story on just about every corner of our incredible city. If you’re interested in learning more about Downtown Trenton’s historic sites and sounds, you’ll want to mark your calendars for the Trenton Historical Society’s upcoming walking tour.

On Saturday, August 12th, you are invited to join the Trenton Historical Society for a guided walking tour throughout Downtown Trenton. The tour will begin at 12pm at the New Jersey Statehouse Annex, 131-137 W State St, Trenton, NJ 08608.
