Trenton State College, Ewing NJ



Many Burg folks went to Trenton State College in
Ewing. It was renamed The College of New Jersey.
I have added a link on the blog list for all Alumni:)

The roots of this institution go directly back to the burg. Before it was Columbus Park, Chestnut Park, and Deefies, that park was site of Trenton Normal School. This institution was training school for future teachers. Across the street from park where the bank now stands, was site of the original Trenton High School.

Hey Pass...I used to get hit with the wooden spoon when I asked my mom if she went to the "Normal School" when she was growing up on Elmer St...if she said no then I'd say "then you went to the ab-Normal school, right?" She would call me a "ball-buster" and give me a tap with the spoon...OK, it was funny then..and a good memory now. Thanks for reminding me.

I think my "original" was broken over my hard Calabrese head many years ago.
