Ice Cream Social at the Trent House

Sunday June 1, 2025
1:00 PM - 4:00 PM

The Trent House Association will hold its annual ice cream social to celebrate the day the Trent House Museum was opened in 1939. This free event will take place rain or shine on Sunday, June 1, 2025, from 1 to 4 pm at the Museum, 15 Market Street, Trenton, New Jersey. Free parking is available behind the property off William Trent Place.

On June 1, 1939, the restored Trent House was opened to the public as a museum. The house, then known as Woodlawn, had been given to the City of Trenton in 1929 by the last private owner, Edward A. Stokes. The gift required that the house be restored to its original colonial condition with its elaborate and extensive Gilded Age additions removed. This work was impossible for the City to undertake as the Great Depression was just beginning, so it was not until 1934 that restoration began under the auspices of the Workers Progress Administration. On June 1, 2025, all are invited to celebrate the 86th anniversary of the Museum's opening with ice cream, music, and children's games and crafts between 1 and 4 pm. Tours of the historic house and of exhibits in the visitor center will also be offered.
