Just like it’s next-door-neighbor Princeton, the quaint village of Lawrenceville shares it’s name and much of it’s property with a nationally esteemed institution. The Lawrenceville School, a prestigious high school for both boarding and day students, boasts an 800 acre Frederick Law Olmsted designed campus, along with a notable alumni list. And also like Princeton, the passion of the town’s residents and businesses ensures there is much to offer outside the school gates.
