  • Landmarks, Taverns, Markets and Fairs
    CHAPTER VI Landmarks, Taverns, Markets and Fairs BY WILLIAM J. BACKES I. Landmarks OF ALL of Trenton's landmarks, the Trent House is undoubtedly the oldest. It was built in 1719, the same year in which the name Trent-town was bestowed on the settlement, until then commonly referred to as “the Falls.” THE TRENT HOUSE, OR BLOOMSBURY COURT This mansion, known at different times as Kingsbury Hall, Bloomsbury Court, and Woodlawn, is a landmark of rich historical interest. It was built by William Trent, in whose honor the settlement was named, on the tract of eight hundred acres which he had acquired from Mahlon Stacy, Jr., by deed dated August 17, 1714. Trent himself did not make his permanent residence here until 1721, but had built the house while still living in Philadelphia, coming here to enjoy it in the summer seasons before making it his permanent abode. 1 As originally constructed the mansion was an oblong building erected of bricks brought over from Europe, and it exists today exactly as originally built except for a frame addition said to have been added about 1850 by James M. Redmond, the then owner. Chief Justice Trent died there on Christmas Day 1724. James Trent, his eldest son and heir-at- law, conveyed the property to William Morris, a merchant of the Island of Barbadoes, in the West Indies, by deed dated March 28, 1729. The deed conveyed three hundred acres of land “together with the brick messuage or dwelling house, lately erected by the said William Trent, wherein the said James Trent now liveth.” Morris held title to the property, conveying it to Governor George Thomas of Pennsylvania, in October, 1733.

    Chapter 15 ARCHAEOLOGICALINTRODUCTION HISTORY The Abbott Farm National Historic Landmark a half, placing them within the broader context of the (AFNHL) has figured prominently in the history of development of North American and Delaware Valley American archaeology, most notably in the extended prehistoric archaeology. The emphasis here, so far as international debate over human antiquity in North Abbott himself is concerned, is on his contributions to America that raged from the 1870s into the early the emerging discipline of New World archaeology; 20th century (Willey and Sabloff 1980; Meltzer 1983; for a more rounded view of his life and surroundings, Joyce et al. 1989; Kraft 1993; Mounier 2003:39- the reader is referred to Chapter 4, Section E. 48). At its peak during the late 1880s, 1890s and the first decade of the 20th century this debate engaged Charles Conrad Abbott, born in 1843, grew up at scholars in many of the country’s elite universities “Three Beeches,” a comfortably appointed farm prop- and museums, gained considerable notice in Europe erty perched on the rim of the bluff overlooking and stimulated intense and long-lasting interest in the Watson’s and Crosswicks creeks. From early in his prehistoric archaeology and geology of the Delaware youth Abbott nurtured a lifelong fascination with the Valley. Indeed, the Trenton area and the AFNHL have natural history of the local area and as a logical exten- remained a strong focus of archaeological endeavor sion of this interest he soon began studying the Native down to the present day resulting in several major American artifacts that turned up in abundance in the programs of research and excavation, particularly in surrounding farm fields.

Copyright 1928 The Society of Colonial Wars in the Stci tc of New Jersey Press oj Innes & Sons Philadelphia PREFACE N the foreword of "The First Americans" the Editors say, "The beginning of the thirteen English Colonies, so big I with destiny, have stirred the reverent curiosity of Ameri' can historians generation after generation." It is one of the ob' jects of the Society of Colonial Wars to promote an interest in and knowledge of Colonial history, not only by historians but by the ordinary man who professes that he has no time to devote to things that are past. In this day when distance is made unimportant by the motor vehicle, and we can in a day cover a mileage, which would have taken many days in Colonial times, there is no excuse for unfamiliarity or lack of knowledge of the historic spots in one's own State. When the State is one with a his- tory so fascinating and so closely connected with our National history, there is even less excuse for ignorance.

  • Sartori to Sacred Heart, Early Catholic Trenton, Featured Many Objects from the Church’S Collection
    TO Acknowledgments The driving force behind this publication has been the Very Reverend Dennis A. Apoldite and the parish’s historian, Sally Lane. Father Dennis’s unflinching curiosity and respect for the past propelled the research and guided both the selection of items for a companion museum exhibit and the structure of this booklet. Sally Lane’s knowledge of church and Trenton history has been invaluable, together with her earlier work preparing the National Register of Historic Places documentation. Sister Catherine Thibault, Archivist at the Diocese of Trenton, kindly made critical research materials available concerning both Sacred Heart and St. John’s. Wendy Nardi, Library Historian, made numerous images and research items avail- able from the Trentoniana Collection at the Trenton Free Public Library. Chris Brenner of Trenton-based Restoration Dynamics provided access to a lift for taking interior photographs of the church’s sanctuary and stained glass during recent restoration work. This booklet was produced by Hunter Research, Inc. of Trenton, New Jersey. The text was authored by Richard W. Hunter and Patrick J. Harshbarger; layout and graphic design were undertaken by Elizabeth Cottrell. Printing services were provided by Nassau Communications, Sacred Heart Church, Postcard, c. 1906.

Michael Stewart, Ph.D., Prehistorian AUGUST 2009 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The research undertaken in support of this document, and the production of the document itself, have been fund- ed by a historic site management grant from the Garden State Historic Preservation Trust Fund (administered by the New Jersey Historic Trust) and by a grant from the Mercer County Open Space Preservation Trust Fund. Compiling and analyzing the voluminous cultural resources data that pertains to the Abbott Farm National Historic Landmark (AFNHL) has been an exceptionally daunting task that would have been well nigh impos- sible to complete without the input and assistance of several valued colleagues, amongst whom are government officials, cultural resource and planning professionals, scholars and knowledgeable residents. Within Mercer County government we offer profound thanks to Lisa Fritzinger, Supervising Planner, and Marisa Wieczorek, Senior Planner, of the Planning Division. Throughout this exercise, Lisa and Marisa have kept us on task, provided us with critical background information and mapping, and shared their immense enthusiasm for the cultural and natural history of the landmark.

It has served as a basis for planning for the development of the Canal Park, as a resource inventory summary, and as a key to understanding the park and its managers. This revision, therefore, does not make drastic changes in the original document. It brings the 1977 edition up to date, and it makes it clearer how the MASTER PLAN fits into the planning process for the Delaware and Raritan Canal State Park. The 1977 MASTER PLAN set the stage for the Commission's master planning process. It established a basic understanding of the Canal Park and of how the park's inherent character relates to principles and objectives for its development. The next document in the master planning process was the 1980 DESIGN GUIDE, which took the principles of the MASTER PLAN and related them to specific kinds of development projects.
