The Trenton Historical Society has given numerous walking tours on varying subjects and offers a brochure on the Battles of Trenton. We have prepared, with NJ Historical Commission funding, self-guided walking tours of the First Battle of Trenton fought on December 26, 1776 and the Second Battle of Trenton that took place on January 2, 1777. Trenton has a range of historic sites some of which are open to visitors for tours, among the most interesting are:
