William Trent House (Trent House Museum)

William Trent, a wealthy Philadelphia merchant, established his plantation and built this brick house on the banks of the Delaware River in 1719. The settlement that grew around it took his name. By the time of the Revolution, the house had passed through several owners and was located at the southern edge of the town, near the Assunpink Creek. The house survived the battles of 1776-1777 and was later acquired by the city of Trenton for preservation as a museum.
