Visitor parking garage

As soon as you get off the Calhoun exit onto State St, look on the right for the state museum.  Right by the museum there is free visitor parking and there may be a state trouper outside to direct you into the garage, which is connected directly to the State House Annex.

 

Street parking

Metered street parking within a half block of the state house is safe.  Requires frequent trips to feed quarters to the meter.  Occasional spots open up during the day.  Farther away is not safe as cars are broken into on a daily basis.

 

Reasonable parking also available at the
Trenton Marriott Downtown (609) 421-4000
Continue down State St away from Calhoun
R onto Willow/Barrack
then L onto Lafayette
