How interesting to see the area of Mercer County, in this case, the western section of the city of Trenton bordering West Trenton when it was of a very rural character. It's hard to imagine a chicken ranch of the obvious size indicated in the photos being located in that section of the city where the more opulent communities are located.
Hi Tom: I learn something new from you every day. I never heard my mother or grandmother talk about a poultry "ranch'' in West Trenton where we lived. I guess they just knew it was there and went about their lives and never mentioned it. It's a new one on me. Regards
My Mom grew up in a farmhouse on Cherry Street across from Columbus School. Till they brought the barn down in the early 30's, they had chickens and a pig or two. Kind of spooky because when I was a kid in the 50's they still had the old "chopping block" in the yard.
