Do you have EO memories to share? While enjoying the exhibition, visitors are encouraged to add their stories, photos, or memories to a special EO Memories display in the Thomas Malloy Gallery that is set up like a walk-in scrap book and year-by-year timeline. Memories may also be shared by sending an email to exhibits@ellarslie.org.

The Trenton City Museum, housed in historic Ellarslie Mansion, showcases contemporary works by area artists, ongoing and changing displays that explore Trenton’s rich history, varied performances, and family-friendly programming. The museum and its museum shop are open Fridays and Saturdays, noon to 4:00pm, and Sundays, 1:00pm to 4:00pm. While there is no admission fee, donations to support the museum’s programs are welcomed. The Trenton Museum Society, founded in 1973 to support and operate the museum’s programming, is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2023 with many events planned throughout the year.
