Housed in a gorgeous Italianate villa from the mid-19th century, The Trenton City Museum at Ellarslie is a small but welcoming museum with an excellent gift shop on the lower floor. The majority of the collection consists of beautiful pottery pieces that were made in the Trenton area during the 18th and 19th centuries, but there are also some beautiful paintings and household objects depicting the area's history. The museum is open Wednesday through Sunday, and admission is free. For a small fee, guided one-hour tours can be arranged for groups of between 5 and 15 adults.
