Trenton City Museum occupies Ellarslie, a nineteenth-century villa in Cadwalader Park.
The setting combines a historic building with exhibitions of art and local history, connecting the city’s creative life with its changing civic identity.
Check the current exhibition program before visiting, since displays and public events change through the year. The surrounding park offers a separate outdoor experience, so allow time for both if conditions suit. Confirm the museum’s opening arrangements before traveling specifically for the galleries; general access to the park does not imply the house is open.
