Mill Hill Holiday House Tour

Now entering its 43rd consecutive year, the House Tour is Mill Hill’s premier event and a Trenton tradition. This year's tour will take place from noon-5 p.m. on Saturday, December 5, 2009 (snow date, December 6) with the theme "History in Progress." 20-25 homes in the neighborhood will swing open their doors and invite people to come in from the cold and to take a look around. Tickets are $15 in advance or $20 on the day of the tour. Advance tickets are also available online! The tour begins at Artworks, located at Everett Alley and South Stockton Street (see map below).

History in Progress . . . While the streetscape in Mill Hill presents a unified façade of row houses, inside you'll find that every property is stunningly unique. During the on-going restoration process, the interiors of many of Mill Hill’s properties have developed into modern, sometimes sleek, often open, but always inspiring spaces: two story dining rooms, balconies overlooking open living rooms ... In these 19th century houses, the juxtaposition of old and new molds seamlessly into one.

Mill Hill Holiday House tour ticket holders will be able to tour the nearby 1719 William Trent House Museum, dressed for the holidays by the Garden Club of Trenton, linger in the garden and on the grounds, browse in the gift shop and get a jump start on holiday decorations at the Trent House Association’s annual Wreath and Greens Sale.

The tour is run and organized by the Old Mill Hill Society and the residents of Mill Hill. It has played an important role in the restoration of the neighborhood. Money raised by the tour funds redevelopment grants that assist homeowners in maintaining the landmark standards that have helped make the neighborhood what it is today.

The OMHS acknowledges the support of the City of Trenton, Department of Recreation, Natural Resources and Culture, Division of Culture and the Trent House Association.
