Petty's Run Archaeological Site Saved

The Trenton Historical Society is very pleased that Governor Christie and County Executive Hughes have joined together to preserve the Petty's Run archaeological site.
The history of industrial development in the Trenton/Mercer area more than 250 years ago should be much better known. Our members and the public look forward to seeing this new site of heritage tourism.
