Puerto Ricans in Trenton – Their History and Contributions, Trent House Association

Saturday October 18, 2025
1:00 PM

The Trent House Association presents a talk by Reverend ?José Rodriguez on the history and contributions of Trenton's Puerto Rican community at 1:00 pm on Saturday, October 18, 2025, in the visitor center. This free talk will be given in both English and Spanish.

Puerto Ricans began arriving in Trenton in the 1930s and 1940s, with more coming during the city's industrial boom of the 1950s and 1960s. Trenton's first major Hispanic group faced significant obstacles and racism, but their pioneering efforts established business, education, and public service opportunities that have benefited subsequent Spanish-speaking newcomers.

THE MTM Players

Spend an Enchanted Evening (or afternoon) with The MTM Players as they whisk you away to The South Pacific with this beloved Rodgers & Hammerstein classic featuring Bali Hai, Younger Than Springtime, You Have to Be Taught, I’m in Love with a Wonderful Guy, and of course Some Enchanted Evening. Based on the anecdotes of a real-life U.S. Navy commander who was stationed on an island, South Pacific follows two intercultural love stories: Nellie, a spunky Navy nurse from Arkansas, and Lieutenant Cable who both find themselves struggling to reconcile their own cultural prejudices with their amorous feelings, all while under the dark cloud of a war that is coming ever closer to their island paradise.
