Becoming The Museum of Today

Becoming the Museum We Are Today

The house that William Trent had built more than 300 years ago has undergone many changes in its architecture and interior design. The thousand acre plantation on which it stood is now a City park of about two acres, surrounded by highways, parking lots, and office buildings.

Some of these changes reflect the social and economic climate of particular eras over the past three centuries
