The Trenton City Museum is housed in Ellarslie Mansion, an 1848 Italianate Villa on the National Historic Register, located in the heart of Trenton’s Cadwalader Park. The historic and popular park was designed by the legendary Frederick Law Olmsted, born in 1822, famed for designing such landmarks as New York City’s Central Park. The museum showcases exhibitions of contemporary fine art along with ongoing and changing history displays that explore Trenton’s rich industrial and cultural past. It also hosts many community events such as Sundaes on the Veranda and runs a busy education program for all ages. The Trenton Museum Society works with the City of Trenton to support the museum’s operations and programming and in 2023 celebrated the 50th anniversary of its founding.
