Princeton is located in Mercer County and is divided into two municipalities - a township and a borough. The township completely surrounds the borough and together they are referred to as "the two Princetons." It is most well known for being the home of Princeton University, Princeton Theological Seminary and Westminster Choir College. The University campus lies mostly within Princeton Borough, with parts of it extending into Princeton Township. Princeton University is one of two universities in New Jersey that was chartered before the American Revolution (Rutgers University is the other one.) Other places of interest in Princeton includes Morven, the former home of Richard Stockton, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. Morven is the current home of the New Jersey Historical Society and the former Governor's mansion. The current Governor's mansion is Drumthwacket, a mansion located outside the center of the town. Princeton offers a wealth of shopping, dining, cultural and entertainment opportunities. For outdoor recreation, there is golf, tennis, a community park pool complex and playing fields and recreational areas with hiking trails, birdwatching, picnicking, canoeing and cross-country ski trails. In July 2005, Money Magazine ranked Princeton 15th on its list of the "100 Best Places to Live in the United States."
