From the station, walk about 10 minutes towards Chestnut Street, and you will find Carpenters' Hall at 320 Chestnut St.

• Train

  Make your way to the Trenton Train Station and board a NJ Transit train heading towards Philadelphia (check the destination to ensure it stops at 30th Street Station). Once you arrive at 30th Street Station, exit the train and walk to the SEPTA station located within the same facility. Take the Market-Frankford Line toward 69th Street and disembark at 5th Street/Independence Hall Station. Upon exiting the station, walk approximately 10 minutes east along Chestnut Street to reach Carpenters' Hall at 320 Chestnut St.

• Bicycle

  If you are comfortable riding a bike, you can rent a bike from a local bike-sharing program in Trenton. Start from downtown Trenton and head south towards the Delaware River, following the riverfront bike path. Continue along the path until you reach the Ben Franklin Bridge. Cross the bridge and follow the signs to Philadelphia. Once you are in Philadelphia, navigate towards Chestnut Street, and you will find Carpenters' Hall at 320 Chestnut St. Always wear a helmet and follow local biking rules.

• Walking

  If you prefer to walk, you can take a scenic route starting from the Trenton Train Station. Walk south on South Clinton Avenue, then turn right onto West State Street. Continue walking until you reach the Delaware River waterfront. From there, you can follow the pedestrian pathways leading to the Ben Franklin Bridge. Walk across the bridge into Philadelphia, and once you arrive, follow signs toward downtown. Walk east on Chestnut Street, and you will arrive at Carpenters' Hall located at 320 Chestnut St. Be prepared for a long walk, as it will take a few hours.
