Trenton City Museum invites families to sign their kids up for its second annual July family programming series, Saturdays in July, offered for free. Trenton City Museum is located in historic Ellarslie Mansion in Cadwalader Park.

This offering is a part of the museum’s arts education programming for youth and families and is made possible this year with the co-sponsorship of the Mercer County Education Association. Educator Linda McRae, a Trenton Museum Society trustee, is the coordinator of the annual program, which also involves many museum volunteers who lead the activities.

The museum-based fun and exploration for kids and their families starts with a continental breakfast and continues with a guided museum tour, scavenger hunt, stories about the history of Ellarslie Mansion and Cadwalader Park, and art and craft projects led by a rotating roster of guest teacher-artists. Breakfast, snacks, and T-shirts are provided for each participant along with the programs and craft workshops.

The Saturday morning programs are on July 15, 22, and 29 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and are for children ages 5 to 13, accompanied by an adult. For more information and to register, visit ellarslie.org/July-family-program, call (609) 989-1191, or email tms@ellarslie.org.
