SKELTON SCHOOL: TRENTON'S OLDEST SCHOOL?

 

This rather elusive photo shows the school that goes all the way back to the years when Nottingham Township was a part of the town of Trenton. It is named for Dr. Charles Skelton, a noted Trenton philanthropist. The posts that follow are all Skelton related and a very important part of the history of education in Trenton

 Located on Centre Street between Bridge and Furman Streets

 

 The above book plate honors Dr. Skelton, his early years as a laborer, his unending thirst for knowledge, his ultimate success as a doctor,  and his philanthropic gift to the Trenton Free Public Library

Below are two of the more recent Skelton School articles and photos in the "SKELTON SCHOOL" folder in the Hamilton Township Public Library Local History Collection.

More Skelton School articles and photos will be forthcoming in the future.
