1896: THE JAMES MOSES SCHOOL

The late, lamented James Moses School that once stood on Park Avenue near Jersey Street in Villa Park. It was the grammar school of many residents of the Villa Park area of Trenton. Villa Park was once the site of Quintin's horse racing track.It is difficult to see where the track was located with the many homes that have since been constructed over the past 100 years. However, I would bet that the ground laid out for the park at Villa Park *was in the center of the original track.(*Complete speculation on my part; I have yet to find definitive information 
on the boundaries of the race track.)
