Regarding Mill Hill Playhouse. The Mill Hill Playhouse is housed in an old church built in 1873 by the Messiah Church. The building was sold by them in 1902 to the Lutheran Church of the Saviour which merged with other congregations in 1967. The empty church was gutted by fire in 1977 and converted to a theatre by the City of Trenton. The Passage Theatre Company currently uses this facility.

The descendant of a prominent local family that counted a signer of the Declaration of Independence among its members, Ms. Stockton was a patron of Trenton's cultural institutions and at the time of her death in 1979
