Ellarslie Mansion

Though Ellarslie Mansion was built in 1848—decades after the Revolutionary War—it now serves as the Trenton City Museum and plays a key role in preserving the city’s Revolutionary heritage. Inside, visitors can explore exhibits that highlight Trenton’s pivotal role in the war, including the Battles of Trenton, local patriot leadership, and the city’s transformation during the fight for independence. As the cultural heart of Cadwalader Park, Ellarslie connects modern-day audiences with the spirit of 1776 through art, artifacts, and immersive storytelling rooted in Trenton’s Revolutionary past.
