Trenton’s history is a story of movement – from the migration of the first Indigenous people thousands of years ago to the newcomers of today from around the world. All brought their own memories and their own cultures, often woven into the fabrics they made, decorated, and used in everyday life.
The Trent House recognizes the contributions of some of the cultures represented in Trenton’s rich history and current life with an exhibition in the historic house and a calendar of talks, demonstrations, and workshops during the month of March.
The historic William Trent House will be the setting for displays of garments and other items made of fabric from African American, Caribbean and Latin American, and Liberian cultures, as well as of modern creations that tell stories with fabric and natural materials. This exhibition will be on the main floor of the museum building and will be open for visitors Wednesdays through Sundays, 1:00 to 4:30 pm, from Sunday, March 8th, through Saturday, March 28th.
An opening reception for the exhibition will be held on Saturday, March 7th, at 3 pm in the Trent House Visitor Center. For reservations, please email trenthouseassociation@verizon.net.
Demonstrations, workshops, and talks will be given in the Trent House Visitor Center. Details are on the Trent House website.
