During its heyday, the Taylor Opera House was THE entertainment venue for those interested in Vaudeville, theater, and other thespian endeavors. It was located on the site of Trenton's Capitol Theater. Many nationally known performers appeared at the Taylor Opera House which was originally known as Taylor Hall.
