Second Annual Heritage Trees at the Trent House: Trenton Area Organizations Light Up the Museum Grounds
The Trent House Association will host a display of lighted trees decorated by seven Trenton area organizations on the theme of their heritage and contributions. An opening reception will be held in the Visitor Center on Saturday, December 14th, from 4 to 6 pm, with tree lighting at 5 pm. This free event with light refreshments is open to all with plenty of free parking at the rear of the Trent House site, across from the Hughes Justice Complex.
The Trent House Association documents, shares, and celebrates the long history of Trenton and its people. The second annual Heritage Tree event is an opportunity to recognize and honor community organizations that contribute so much to our community. This year’s participants include returning organizations (African American Cultural Collaborative of Mercer County, Trenton Puerto Rican Community & Friends, Trenton South Ward Neighborhood Association, and Epsilon Upsilon Omega chapter of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority) and first-time organizations (Black Women NJ-Mercer County, Boys & Girls Club of Mercer County, and Trenton Area Soup Kitchen). The public is invited to hear about the mission and community activities of these organizations during this event.
The Heritage Trees can be visited on the Museum grounds, which are open free of charge Wednesdays through Sundays from 1 to 4:30 pm and every Saturday until 6 pm through January 5, 2024.
