| Join us for our series of Zoom talks, and hear the stories uncovered while researching the building of Junior No. 1, the first junior high school built in the Eastern United States. The stories reveal forgotten Trenton history, and some of the stories are very much relevant today. The eight Zoom talks are scheduled below on Thursdays at 7 pm. Talks are $10 individually or for $40 for all eight. Scroll down to purchase your reservations, and we’ll send you link(s) to your selected talks. |
