The WWII memorial is a short walk across the street from the State House. Standing out from the tightly backed buildings is a beautiful, expansive space that draws visitors in.

“Lady Victory” encompasses the grace and courage of the WWII generation.

Dedicated on Veteran’s Day, 2008, this memorial showcases the military branch service markers and battle scenes from the Atlantic and Pacific theatres.

Just down from the capitol and state museum (free and extensive with a great gift shop) is the Old Barracks Museum.

Constructed in 1758 this French and Indian War military barracks building served many purposes for both British and American troops. The building has now been a museum for over a century and can be visited year-round, Wednesday to Saturday.

Downtown Trenton was worth the visit. With plenty of small lunch shops, this area was educational, interesting, delicious, and cost-effective!
