Princeton and Trenton are both somewhat major cities in central New Jersey. Trenton is the capital of NJ and is home to the Trenton Thunder AA baseball team. Princeton is a 30-min. car ride away, featuring Princeton University and Drumthwacket, the governor's mansion. Both were home to Revolutionary War battles in which the US won. I highly recommend visiting Princeton for one reason or another.
