Trenton's Story Begins Here

The two-plus acres of the William Trent House property are only a fraction of the one thousand acres that William Trent bought at the Falls of the Delaware in 1714. Yet, this small fraction represents a rich story of human activity from 6,000 years ago to well into the 20th century, offering a window into this long history, not just of the site but also of Trenton and the region. The mission of the Trent House Association is to share the authentic history of the house, property, and people with our communities, connecting the past with today and tomorrow.
