The Tourist Attractions in Trenton:
Compared to some of the much larger cities in this part of the United States (such as nearby Philadelphia, and New York City) Trenton is really quite a small city with a population of around 83,000. This has meant that the city hasn’t grown at vast rates and has been able to retain lots of its historical charm that is part of its attraction today.

New Jersey State House

One of the older United States state houses, Trenton’s state house was originally constructed in 1792 and has had several additions made to it over the years. The beautiful gold dome is the most striking feature of the state house and the building was given a much needed renovation in the late 1980’s. Tours are offered from Monday to Saturday, except on state holidays, and usually include such rooms as the Senate and Assembly chamber galleries. The tour is free and does not need to be arranged in advance unless you’re travelling with a large group.

William Trent House

Trenton’s namesake, William Trent, owned a great deal of land in this area and so the town was named after him initially as Trent-towne, then later shortened to Trenton. You can visit his house where there are tours and educational programs taking place.

New Jersey State Museum

The city’s major museum also doubles as a planetarium that has 150 seats and is often full of school children on group tours. The museum itself has a variety of artefacts and arts, dating as far back as the early 1800’s.

Grounds for Sculpture

Outside Trenton, in Hamilton, is the Grounds for Sculpture attraction. This was formerly the site of the Trenton Fairgrounds and some of the buildings from those days are still standing. The park is 35 acres in total and features landscaped gardens and has numerous sculptures to see.
