Princeton New Jersey - Some towns are dominated by their educational and research facilities and this is the case in Princeton New Jersey. The town is best known for the prestigious Princeton University, opened in 1756. Its important research has been in the fields of robotics, plasma physics, meteorology, geophysics and entomology. Former US President, Woodrow Wilson was a University President there. The environment in the town is elegant and many people live there and commute to workplaces in New York and Philadelphia.
In addition to the achievements of the various University faculties, the privately operated Institute for Advanced Study has also produced its luminaries. This establishment, dedicated to scientific research, once served as a facility for Albert Einstein and J.Robert Oppenheimer was Director there from 1947-1966.
The American Boychoir School is another institution with a worldwide reputation. The boarding school for musical studies in Princeton New Jersey is home to the largest non-sectarian boy’s choir in America and they tour extensively across the US and the world. They have performed at popular events such as the Academy Awards ceremony and have appeared with a number of world-class orchestras. They have shared the stage with prominent artists, including the jazz trumpeter, Wynton Marsalis, the cellist Yo Yo Ma and the opera singer, Jessye Norman.
Herrontown Woods Arboretum is a valuable resource for the natural world. It is open to the public on free admission and there are walking trails to follow. The collection includes several species of trees, flowers and shrubs and there is also a pine forest. Lake Carnegie offers another respite from urban living. The artificial lake takes its name from its patron, businessman Andrew Carnegie, who had connections to Princeton New Jersey. The University rowing team train there and the public has access to ice skate, do some fishing or relax with a picnic.
The local history of the area is an interesting one and this is explored at the 18th century home known as Morven. The former home to New Jersey Governors was converted into a museum with exhibits of folk history and decorative arts. The grounds are splendid too with a formal lawn, various trees and flowerbeds. The gift shop sells books, pottery, toys and gardening items. There are tours of the house and the garden and Morven hosts annual events that are well supported by the townsfolk of Princeton New Jersey. These events include the annual plant sale and the annual garden party.
