About this event

We are testing out this Sunday event, when downtown is quietest! There is also typically lots of available parking on Sundays! However, please bring all supplies as not many businesses will be open. Thank you! 


We guarantee that you'll be amazed by how beautiful Trenton is! Trenton is one of the most historic cities in the United States! It's time that we show off all of its beauty. Not only do we have a rich history of manufacturing... but Trenton also played the largest role in gaining our independence as it's the exact turning point of the revolutionary war. Trenton is also the state capital of New Jersey. This is exactly what investors need to see in order to be encouraged to invest in our capital city. Please feel free to invite startups and investors from your network / out of town as well. Lets build this innovation hub together!


Walking Tour Includes: 

1. Trenton Makes The World Takes bridge

2. Freemason's Temple

3. Trenton War Memorial

4. Trent House

5. Old Barracks


We will start by walking to the Trenton Makes bridge and will hit the other stops on our way back to downtown. We will end the tour on S Warren street where we started.
