Roebling in Trenton is a tour designed to give you a sense of the impact of the Roeblings on Trenton. You’ll visit the heart of the factory complex and see and hear about a new conversion to loft apartments as the first part of a $35 million development; you’ll have a chance to go into the last remaining Roebling mansion to view family portraits; you’ll see the statue of John A. which one son posed for, and visit the cathedral another son got built by underwriting the initial phase; and you’ll see suspension bridges on buildings, between buildings, in stained glass, and one by the river you can walk on. Lunch is at Joe’s Mill Hill Saloon; tour guide is Sally Lane, of the Trenton Historical Society and Roebling Museum boards.
The ticket price includes lunch at Joe’s Mill Hill Saloon. There is a lunch selection of Vodka Rigatoni, Chicken Marsala, or a Spinach Salad.

When the New York Times wanted to illustrate a story about the Brooklyn Museum, what image did they choose? Washington A. Roebling, builder of the Brooklyn Bridge, whose portrait is a highlight of the Brooklyn Museum’s collection. (That’s a snippet of Emily Roebling’s portrait at the right.) But you can learn much more about Washington & Emily and their remarkable achievements here at the Roebling Museum!
