Open to the public
Throughout the year we host a monthly speaker series, historic walking tours and hands-on workshops. All events are open to the public unless otherwise noted — members enjoy priority seating and discounts.
Saturday, June 20 · 11 AM–5 PM. A free "trolley ride through time" links Princeton's historic sites — the Railroad Museum, the Agricultural Museum, the War Museum and the Mercer County Historical Society Museum — with living-history characters, vendors and a street party to follow.
Presented with our partners across Princeton. Call (304) 425-9017 or follow us on Facebook for the current date and trolley schedule.
