Trenton's Past and Present: Beyond the Trent House and The Old Barracks Museum

This four hour tour will take participants on a walking tour of the City of Trenton. Participants will visit locations and meet current residents, and will learn more about the role of African Americans in the city. This tour will examine some of the problems poor people face in Trenton.

The day will end at a local restaurant where participants will be able to share a meal and reflect on the day.
