Such a great spot! I highly recommend stopping bye. If you need a nice gift, their shop has something for everyone. They also have a great collection of Trenton pottery.

Also take a moment to walk around the park. If you want a good weekend trip, go-to artworks, the state museum, and here!

Last I should also recommend coming here when ever the seasons change, the landscaping of this park it's amazing!

We attended for an African Mask Making workshop. It was a fun event and staff/volunteers were extremely helpful with gluing and recommendations for structuring your art. You were able to touch other actual art mask with white gloves and there was an African mask history book being passed around. Everyone was extremely friendly and introducing themselves. There were a ton of materials, snacks and family friendly from age 2-adults/couples. We were not able to see the entire museum but the grounds looked beautiful. Parking was convenient, park security at all entrances as well. After we explored the beautiful architecture of homes in neighborhood across the street afterwards (Calwaldere Heights I believe) that reminded my of my previous neighborhood NY. I would definitely recommend for families.

A beautiful celebration and ode to Trenton local history. The hours are wonky, which means that I've now gone for two special events, but it is a delight to see the pride and rich history that the museum exemplifies. Great museum shop!

Very nice visit to Ellarslie today. Two artist friends had work on display so I went with friends to see their work. The museum is easily accessible through the park and the road was set up for easy parking.
Staff/volunteer members were fun and informative. The display for the art exhibit comprised two floors. Most were framed work gathered nicely on the walls and a few stand alone sculptures. Some of the work was incredible. Also on view are many of the museums permanent collection. And of course a stop in the well stocked gift shop$$$. Everybody in my small group of three made purchases.
Unfortunately, there was no A/C but the place was very well ventilated and although the sign on the door suggested masks, the staff went without such attire.
After my glasses fogged up I removed mine as well. I only saw two other guests on this hot Friday afternoon.

In the heart of West Trenton region with beautiful views throughout the park sits Ellarslie museum. Trenton City Museum is more than just history. You will glorify the the education provided of Trenton and the Cadwalder park area. The events that are and will be held at Ellarslie tend to fit all ages.

I think the museum is the best thing that has happened to Trenton and I pray that we continue to grow and have things like this where people can come and enjoy themselves it's just a beautiful thing. It was so well kept and snacks was a wonderful thing that I didn't think I was going to get anything , but I enjoyed it everything was nice , the store , the pictures just taking your time browsing around was a wonderful experience.

Upon Arrival I Felt an Elevated Sense of An Ancestral Presence! The Museum Itself Has a Grandeur Imagery That is Absolutely Breathtaking! Once inside I Was Amazed by The Unique Blend of Past & Present Decor. I Need To Return There To Make Sure.. It was not A Dream ❤️ p.s The Staff Were Top Notch.. Indeed!
