The Princeton Governors Mansion, Drumthwacket, is open for Visitors in December. Reservations are required and filling up quickly.  You can visit the web site at www.drumthwacket.org or call 609-683-0057 for reservations. This yhears theme is Peace on Darth.  The mansion is decorated by New Jersey's finest garden clubs including Hunterdon HIlls. Visitors can stroll thru the mansion at their own pace and it will be decorated with natural garden materials.  I am especially interested in seeing this since I have decorated my home in mostly natural materials this season. Drumthwacket was built in 1835 on the land that witnessed the Battle or Princeton and is rich in History. Hope to see you there.

The other evening we took a drive thru Palmer Square in Princeton, NJ. It is absolutely beautiful.  You have to excuse my non photo of the tree, I did not have my camera with me.  The tree is lit with beautiful colors, all of the shoppes are tastefully decorated,  There are wreaths everywhere and it is a wonderful sight to behold. I am planning on doing a walking tour and taking photos later this week or beginning of next, but in the meantime, if you are in the area and have a free moment, drive thru.  If you have even more time, park and take a walk, stop at one of the dining places or get cup of coffee.   Wonder what is going on in Palmer Square check out this link for all the holiday happenings.  I guarantee if you are not in the spirit now, you will be.   Photo courtesy of microsoft...

A recent stroll down Library Place, Princeton Borough, camera in hand snapping photos of the beautiful homes with their individual architecture and leaded glass windows lead me to search tax records in our Trend MLS to see what has sold on this street of 31 houses. On February 29, 2008 one property on Library Place sold for $3,100,000.  The property had been in the same family for generations and featured five fireplaces and an elevator. Prior to that in August of 2007 a similar property sold for $3,250,000. Needless to say, properties in this elete area of town do not come on the market often. However, if you are interested in finding a home in Princeton Borough or Library Place, please contact me at coshea@nationsrealtors.com and I will be happy to help you find the home of your dream...

When I think of Witherspoon Street in Princeton Borough, I immediately think of Princeton Medical Center. I did not realize that there was a real life John Witherspoon until I took a tour of the Princeton University Campus. John Witherspoon was one of the signers of the Declaration of Indenpendence along with a being the sixth President of Princeton and from 1786 to 1782 a leading member of the Continental Congress. Originally from Scotland where he was an ordained minister he came to Philadelphia in August of 1776 and then moved to Princeton. Central New Jersey, Mercer County is rich in history and our founding fathers contributed to making this country what it is today. A trip down Witherspoon Street, its shoppes, offices and restaurants will now remind me of the founding fathers of t...
