Visit Mercer County

The Capital County Welcomes you!

Nestled in the heart of New Jersey and conveniently located between New York City and Philadelphia, Mercer County is a place where history, culture, recreation, and community come together. Whether you’re visiting for a day, for a weekend, or you’re a resident looking to get out and explore, we’re excited to share all that our county has to offer.

Mercer County is home to the Capital City of Trenton, to vibrant downtowns, beautiful parks and trails, thriving arts and cultural organizations, diverse dining experiences, world-class educational institutions, including Princeton University, and some of the most significant sites in American history. From exploring the battlefields where our nation fought for independence to enjoying a concert or ball game along the Delaware River, a day at Mercer County Park, or a stroll down a small-town main street, you’ll find that Mercer County truly has something here for everyone.

Visit Mercer County was created to serve as your guide to everything our county has to offer. Working alongside our towns and cities, cultural institutions, local businesses, and community organizations, we’re bringing together events, attractions, dining, lodging, and recreational opportunities all in one convenient place. I’d like to thank our Board of County Commissioners and all the partners who have worked with us to tell the story of our community and showcase the things that make Mercer so special.

We can’t wait for you to explore, discover, and create lasting memories here in Mercer County.

Sincerely,

Dan Benson
Mercer County Executive
