In March last year's campers at Safe Haven's summer camp expressed why they wanted the camp to be open this year.  As the summer progressed, the end of camp approached and the children wanted another week.  Trenton Meeting was able to provide funds to help that extra week happen.  Honored to be given this opportunity.  Thank you David Cox and Bryan Caver and everyone at The Safe Haven on Old Rose Street.

George Clymer and his Quaker Connection

 

George Clymer, signer of both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, is buried in our Meeting’s yard.  As told to me, the Meeting’s handed-down verbal story states that he was not a Quaker, but was visiting his son in Trenton in the winter when he died.  Although he lived in Morrisville, he had to be buried in Trenton because the Delaware River could be crossed then only by ferry.  This story is in error.
