To understand the present and create the future, we must look to the past. Today’s world evolved from the efforts and dreams of the generations that preceded us. In the words of Theodore Roosevelt, “The more you know about the past, the better prepared you are for the future.” As a seeker of such wisdom, you steer away from the modern pleasures of Atlantic City and head for hotels in Trenton, NJ. Here in the state capital, the spirits of New Jersey’s past await, whispering their secrets.
Less than 100 miles from the Jersey Shore, Trenton hotels are your gateway to history. The imposing brick and stone walls of the Old Barracks Museum invite you to journey back through two-and-a-half centuries of local lore. Musket fire and the music of fifes and drums echo through the courtyard and young men in crisp uniforms and women in bonnets and petticoats spark your imagination. They seem to challenge you to uphold the hopes and dreams of their time and avoid repeating their mistakes.
Within easy reach of hotels near Trenton, NJ, the New Jersey State Museum beckons you to explore what it means to be human. A Civil War flag hints at the hands that sewed it and carried it into battle. A painting invites you to contemplate the soaring horizons of the human imagination, and to wonder about the life of the artist, which is both reflected and obscured by his masterpiece. As you immerse yourself in the whirling stars of the Planetarium, you realize just how insignificant are our endeavors here on earth.
If you feel the call to explore further afield, rental cars in Trenton give you the freedom to follow the stories of the previous generations, wherever they may lead you. And if the nation’s original boardwalk beckons, trust Travelocity to find hotels in Atlantic City. Immerse yourself in a long history of extravagance and celebration, luxuriating in the present while gleaning the richness of the past.
