==Culture== [[File:Gibson County Electric Membership Corporation - NARA - 280204 cropped.jpg|thumb|right|The Gibson County Electric Membership Corporation which is still located Trenton, in 1940]] Trenton is most famous for its collection of rare antique [[teapot|porcelain veilleuses]], donated by the late Dr. Frederick C. Freed in 1955.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.teapotcollection.com/285644.ihtml |title=Trenton Teapot Collection |accessdate=February 24, 2009 |publisher=Trenton Teapot Collection |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090402014922/http://www.teapotcollection.com/285644.ihtml |archivedate=April 2, 2009 }}</ref> The teapots are unique because the candle's glow illuminates the pot's exterior, thus serving as a night light. None of the 525 teapots in this collection are alike, and some are designed as palaces or people in unique still-life castings. The town celebrates its collection with an annual "Teapot Festival" held each spring since 1981.
