Your gift at any level helps us tell the stories of the Trent House.
Before William Trent incorporated “Trent’s Town,” laying the foundation for Trenton to become an industrial city drawing newcomers from the Old and New Worlds to work and live, the land on which the William Trent House stands was part of the traditional territory of the Lenni-Lenape and their ancestors. The land knows. 

Built on the banks of the Delaware River in early Georgian architectural style, Trent’s house entertained royal governors, Revolutionary War leaders, and local politicians and industrialists for over 300 years before becoming a museum. The house sees. 

If the land and the house could speak, they would tell the stories of the many people who have lived on the thousand acres that Trent owned. Stories of enslaved Africans who played a central role in helping William Trent generate wealth with their labor, expertise, and skills. Stories of immigrants from Europe who came to work in Trenton’s factories and build a new life for their families. Stories of African Americans coming from the American south seeking freedom from oppression and opportunities to fulfill the American dream. We tell these stories--and many others—and encourage our neighbors to continue to tell their own stories. 

Your gift makes it possible to discover these stories and have them heard.
