The Trent House in collaboration with the Trenton Puerto Rican Community & Friends organization and others is organizing a program of free demonstrations, workshops, presentations, and an exhibition during March 2026 on the theme of Fabric, Stories, & Memory. Most events will be at the William Trent House Museum, 15 Market Street in Trenton, New Jersey, located across William Trent Place from the Hughes Justice Complex. Free parking is available off William Trent Place behind the Museum property.

Fabric, Stories, & Memory will celebrate the long history of our city, state, and nation of embracing, preserving, and building on the material culture of the many groups who have enriched our country. Visitors can view the exhibition in the historic house of garments and other textiles from Latino, Liberian, and Ukrainian cultures as well as contemporary fabric art from March 8 through March 28. Fabric artists will offer hands-on workshops using fabric to create personal memory books or a collective artwork. A technique for creating two- and three-dimensional pieces from wool will be demonstrated and three illustrated talks describing traditional and modern ways fabric is used to tell and remember stories will be given.
