Trenton: Crucial Crossroads

Now open – on extended view

Museum Auditorium – Alcove Gallery

Designed as both a history of Trenton, New Jersey’s capital city, and an orientation for visitors planning to visit historic sites in the city, the exhibition ranges from the beginnings of European exploration through colonial occupations to the more recent industrial and political history.  Objects in the exhibition illustrate the changing face of Trenton and provide visitors with an historical context that will enhance visits to Trenton’s many significant historic sites, including the New Jersey State Capitol, the Old Barracks Museum, the Trenton Battle Monument, War Memorial Theater, Masonic Lodge and 1719 William Trenton House Museum.
