About William Trent House
The William Trent House is a colonial-era house in Trenton built in 1719 for merchant William Trent, who founded the settlement that gave the city its name. The museum shares the history of the house, its grounds, and the people connected to it, including enslaved individuals who lived and worked on the property. It is a National Historic Landmark and sits on the New Jersey Black Heritage Trail and the Washington-Rochambeau Revolutionary Route. Visits are mainly guided tours of the house, grounds, and visitor center exhibits.
