Between now and February 22, 2014 (the conclusion of Mercer County's 175th Anniversary year) this blog will feature 175+ posts featuring just a small sampling of the fascinating faces, places, events, mysteries, photographs, things that make this area's history so rich.
The photos above show Trenton's famous Roebling Steel Works engulfed in flames and some of the devastating aftermath of a series of fires set during a January night in 1915. The fires, suspected to be sabotage by German agents, caused millions of dollars worth of damage, but the Roeblings quickly rebuilt - and the rest is history.
Check out this story by Jon Blackwell that appeared as part of the Trentonian's Capital Century series.
