The Jugtown Historic District consists of a cluster of historic buildings surrounding the intersection of Harrison Street and Nassau Street in Princeton, New Jersey, United States. The settlement dates to colonial times and is sometimes known as Queenston. In 1987, the district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The Jugtown area was first settled by Europeans around 1730, springing up around a crossroads on the King's Highway. John Morton established the first pottery in the village in 1766. The 19th century saw the community grow, spurred by commercial development and trade on the Delaware and Raritan Canal. The latter half of the century saw the decline of Jugtown's industry. It was home to the short-lived Evelyn College for Women from 1887 to 1897. The district's character became mostly residential in the 20th century. Although the historic district was established in the 1980s, concerns over further development have arisen due to municipal zoning overlays.

Westminster Choir College is a historic conservatory of music, currently operating on the campus of Rider University, in Lawrenceville, New Jersey. Rider's College of Arts and Sciences consists of Westminster Choir College and an additional three schools.
From 1926 to 1929, WCC was an independent school located in Dayton, Ohio; it was then moved to Ithaca, New York, before relocating to Princeton, New Jersey, for much of its operating history. In 1992, the college merged with Rider University, continuing to occupy the historic campus in Downtown Princeton. In 2019, Rider University attempted to monetize and sell the school, an issue under ongoing litigation by numerous plaintiffs. After a failed sale to Beijing-based Kaiwen Education Technology, a for-profit enterprise with numerous financial burdens of its own—and owned solely by the Chinese government—Rider abandoned the Princeton campus and moved Westminster's programs to the University's main campus in Lawrenceville. In September 2024, the Princeton municipal council moved to purchase the campus through eminent domain for $50 million.
However, they spend all of their earnings on programs for healthy living such as Bike to Work Week, the annual Princeton Environmental Film Festival, Princeton School Gardens Cooperative, the Suppers Program (now rebranded as "Eating for your Health"), The Town Topics newspaper, the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen the D&R Greenway and Friends of Herrontown Woods.
