Trenton Historical Museum is a Tour Through Time

The faded green paint peeling off the Trenton Historical Museum is an introduction to the black and white photos, dated furniture and interesting antiques waiting inside.

The items filling the house could easily be seen on any number of popular television programs involving antiques and rarities.

The Moore house was built by John and Sarah Moore in 1881 and has housed several Moore family members and friends until it eventually became home to the historical museum in 1965.

Museum volunteers can offer a near complete history of the house to anyone wishing to take a tour.

The museum is open on Saturdays from 1 to 4 p.m.

Recently, volunteers for the museum began to help pay for much-needed repairs and overall maintenance of the museum.

Trenton Patch editor Nate Stemen took the tour. Find out what he thought about the house, the antiques and the people who work hard to give Trenton residents a look into the house's storied past.
