Camp Trent for Children At Historic Trent House

The Trent House Museum, New Jersey’s oldest national landmark, will celebrate the centennial of the National Park Service with Camp Trent on Saturday, August 27 from 1-3 p.m. The museum is at 15 Market Street in Trenton.

Children can learn to make a trail mix, use a compass, write with invisible ink, find herbs in the museum garden, and more. All visitors will receive free tours of the Trent House Museum and free ice cream. Children will take home a free prize for completing all activities.

Listed in both the State and National Registers of Historic Places and designated a National Historic Landmark, the restored 1719 William Trent House and historic kitchen garden give visitors a glimpse into pre-revolutionary life in America and its interpretation of William Trent’s lifestyle and diverse household.
