About Us

The Port of Trenton Museum Foundation was formed to develop a series of educational, outreach and research efforts that tell the story of Trenton as a marine and rail transportation center.

Over the next few years, we hope to create our own body of work in cooperation with the numerous organizations that have spent years researching and exhibiting information on the city and its industrial history, its transportation system and the Delaware River ecosystem. Ultimately, we hope to establish a center where historians, social scientists and others can conduct research on subjects related to Trenton, Mercer County, the State of New Jersey, as well as the port itself, the Delaware River, and transportation and urban history.

As an independent not-fot-profit (501C3) corporation, we work with government, private businesses and other organizations to promote the use of the Trenton's waterfront as a cultural, recreational and educational environment, as well as historical-tourism destination.

If you haven't been to Trenton, come visit. You'll be surprised at the jewels you'll find here.
