The Cadwalader Heights Historic Home and Garden Tour returns on Saturday, September 12, noon to 5 p.m. Ten stately or period homes in the historic Frederick Law Olmsted neighborhood, the Trenton City Museum in Cadwalader Park, and the 100-year-old Cadwalader-Asbury United Methodist Church will be open to the public on this self-guided walking tour.
This year’s tour reflects “a neighborhood of rich diversity: people of wide-ranging interests and accomplishments, living in distinctive homes with an array of architectural styles. We are artists, writers, builders, ministers, designers, IT professionals, business owners, accountants, teachers, realtors, curators, veterans, community activists, and more,” write the coordinators.
Among the residents participating in the tour are film and theater designer Barry Richards; Mercer County Freeholder and YMCA CEO Sam Frisby; fine arts and decorative artist Kelly Ingram; Glen Modica, architectural historian and author of “Cadwalader Heights: The History of an Olmsted Neighborhood;” Rachel Ray show producer Kevin Moriarty and Weidel Realty agent Judy Moriarty; and church organist J. Jay Smith and Mark Williams.
Cadwalader Heights holds the distinction of being shaped by one of the nation’s leading 19th century designers: Frederick Law Olmsted. A 31-acre area with 73 houses situated on hills with shady and curving roads, it is the only such site in New Jersey and one of the dozens that involved Olmsted himself, rather than his company.
Tickets are $20 per person in advance via www.cadwaladerheights.com, or $25 on the day of at Cadwalader Asbury United Methodist Church, 900 Stuyvesant Avenue. Free on-street parking.
