The Trent House Association is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving and sharing the history of the Trent House Museum in Trenton, New Jersey. The museum, a National Historic Landmark, was the residence of William Trent, a prominent colonial figure who played a role in the slave trade. Through exhibits, events, and educational programs, the association aims to tell the stories of the house, its residents, and the enslaved individuals who lived there, providing visitors with a deeper understanding of the region's history.
With a focus on connecting the past with the present, the Trent House Association works in collaboration with the City of Trenton to operate the museum. Supported by grants and donations, the association strives to engage the community and foster a dialogue about the complex historical narratives associated with the house and its surroundings. By acknowledging the original people of the land, the Lenni-Lenape, the association aims to create a space for reflection and learning, inviting visitors to explore the rich heritage of the region.
