SOMERSET, 8.1 miles (60 alt.), once a Colonial village, is now a handful of suburban homes straggling along the highway. The JEDEDIAH
SCUDDER HOUSE, built more than 200 years ago, stands L. of the highway.
An old-fashioned rambling stone and frame structure, it is said to have
sheltered several of Washington's soldiers who, fatigued or nearly frozen.
were unable to march to Trenton.
Left from Somerset on a stone road to MERCER AIRPORT, 1.7 miles, owned by the
City of Trenton and equipped with three runways and plane-servicing facilities. The
green rotating beacon is seen at night for long distances.
