What is “Trenton Remembered”?

It’s a nonprofit. It will be a one stop digital hub for Trenton history. Through an innovative fusion of preservation and commerce we will highlight and preserve Trenton’s past and amplify its present history. Our goal is simple, not to let all that has been and is great about Trenton to be Remembered. We are driven by an innovative take on preservation, one that uses technology and physical pieces of history to engage a greater community to encourage economic growth. It’s going to be much bigger than it seems on the surface, and we hope it will shape and deliver a better future for a GREAT city. One of which had pronounced impact on US history.

Many of its greatest achievements have been torn down, removed from the city, or have been forgotten. We want to change that! With our plans, we will supercharge and build upon a growing pride in the city to revitalize minds and perception. These are bold statements, but you don’t get to the moon by aiming for the top of a mountain.

About

Americas First Sports Car

The Mercer Magic was America’s first sports car. Designed in 1910 by Finley Porter, the Monk, as it was called, won 47 races in 1911, going up against the biggest names in European manufacturers. It was raced across the country in the days when car design was at the center of American technological innovation. The Mercer was conceived by Washington A. Roebling II, heir to the bridge-building dynasty, who raced in the premier contests of early U.S. auto racing, including Indianapolis and the Grand Prix of America. Zink’s book covers the remarkable story from the founding of the company through the development of the Mercer Race about; Mercer’s multi-year racing campaign that achieved national success winning the American Grand Prix in 1914.
