Known for its crucial role in the Revolutionary War, Trenton is suffused in tales of the past, featuring several museums and monuments, including the Old Barracks Museum, the country's sole remaining British Barracks.
But New Jersey’s capital city entices more than history lovers. Sports fans can cheer on minor league baseball and hockey teams while art connoisseurs can trek through galleries and the 35-acre Grounds for Sculpture park, as well as theaters and auditoriums.
