I have added a link to the German American Society:)
This is a picture of Muhlhausen, Germany, where
the Roeblings came from. No Roeblings, No Burg.
Does anyone know where the German American Society
building was on South Clinton Avenue? It is referred
to on the site but no address is given:)
PS: I have to add the ole Burg saying now:
Who is President of The United States? Why Mr Roebling
of Course:)
UPDATE: I have discovered where the German American Society
was on South Clinton Avenue:)
Thank you Trenton Historical Society:)

Isn't this descendant from the old Liederkranz Society that used to be in the Burg?
There was a club house in the Burg, possibly on Emory Ave, but I'm not sure. It was called the "Aurora Club", and my parents were frequenters.
BAck int he 1960s, when I still lived in Trenton, their group bought a large plot of ground out on Uncle Pete's Road (off of Yardville Allentown Road, adjacent to the Turnpike).
I have heard of Uncle Petes Road
Club..Have a friend from Yardville
who tells me they had great parties
there:)
I find an Aurora Singing Society
on 145 Morris Avenue in 1957.
Might that be it?
That was the Aurora Club, on Morris.
What's the year on the top of the building on S. Clinton? I can't make that out.
The G.A.K has a history page that you've likely seen: http://www.gakclub.org/historypg.html
I may remember a G.A.K sign in the window of the Aurora Club, but I'm not sure.
All this stuff is just crawling out of the cobwebs of my brain. ;-)
Yes that history page was where
I saw the south clinton avenue
reference and that got me searching
for the address which I found
on The Trenton Historical Society
page aka 1027 S Clinton:)
Mack, Aurora Club is now Baldisari Regency. German-American Club on Uncle Petes Rd has a "Schlokfest" every Sept or Oct...all Pork, all the time, with a little beer to wash it down. Great food.
SJBill...talk to Joe Z, he got me started on Ginko and I'm pulling memories out where I forgot they were.
Thanks Barb, Joe Z's Ginko Express open for business "We Ship Any Time". Had loads of fun at the Arbeiter's Club on Franklin St. Back in the 70's on one Saturday night of the month, they had an open bar for cocktail hour, family style dinner and dancing till midnight.
there was a small german-american consulate/embassy/cultural type office on chestnut ave across the street from immaculate church until sometime in the late 70s or early 80s. i don't remember the actual title of the office. the german-burg connection was still around even after most of the burg became italian.
