Trenton
Trenton is the county seat for Gibson County. The downtown area of the
town features Court Square with the county court house as its prime
architectural feature. The three red and blond brick court house built
in 1899 features a clock tower and a hanging bell. The town itself was
placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 as the
Trenton Historic District with 96 buildings and 520 acres - this
collection of homes includes antebellum mansions, quaint cottages, and
three tree lined streets. Most of the homes are privately owned, but the
restored Freed House is owned and operated by the city. It is open for
tours, luncheons and teas (with prior arrangements and by reservations
only) --- it is also rented for special events (call the city hall for
all Freed House inquiries).
Trenton is the home of "The World's Largest Collection of
Veilleuse-Theieres," or night light teapots. These are not your standard
teapot; the collection is classified as art. A spout in this collection
might be a bobbin of yarn in the hand of a woman, an opening in a man's
hat or in the hand of a goddess riding on the back of a leaping dolphin.
The collection was donated to the city by former Trentonian, Dr.
Frederick Freed. There are 525, no two identical. The teapot are housed
in city hall and they may be viewed at any time. For a detailed tour and
more information on the teapots, contact the city hall or visit the
website at
www.teapotcollection.com
The teapots are the basis of a week long festival the last week of April
each year, with events such as teapot lighting, church services, arts
and crafts, parade, fireworks and much more. For more information on
this event, see the ACTIVITIES & EVENTS
section.
The City of Trenton boasts a fine school system featuring Peabody High
School, Trenton-Rosenwall Middle School and Trenton Elementary School.
For information on all of these schools, see the
EDUCATION section.
The city has a large industrial park that is home to Trenton's largest
industries. The park features the still-available 63,000 square foot
Trenton Spec Building. The building site features electricity, gas,
