9. Making & Exploring History in Trenton



                 This coming weekend is a big one in Trenton: Art All Night, the 24 hour long extravaganza of arts in all forms, is making its own history, celebrating its 7th year of offering art-for-everyone this Saturday and Sunday, June 15-16. The day, a labor of love for ARTWORKS and a small army of passionate volunteers, takes place in the historic Roebling Wire Works factory building (above) and the adjacent Mill Yard Park.


                 Visitors to Trenton on Saturday, June 15, can make it a full day. The Cadwalader Heights Historic House and Garden Tour goes from noon until 5, and showcases some of the most beautiful and historic homes in that section of the city. This year 11 historic houses and several gardens will be featured in the tour (along with art displays and delicious deserts!) Among the houses open to the public will be 9 Belmont Circle (above) - the first home built in the Cadwalader Heights neighborhood by Frank Forrest Frederick, the director of New Jersey's School of Industrial Arts.
