Description

Key to the Colonists' victory in the Revolutionary War was the Battle of Trenton in 1776, and in terms of historic buildings the Old Barracks in Trenton, occupied in turn by British and Irish troops and later, Colonial soldiers is not to be underestimated. Restored and registered as both a state and national landmark in the last century, the Old Barracks are now open to the general public as a museum, manned (and womanned) by period costumed staff who help recreate and interpret life in the late 18th century. Learn more about Colonial New Jersey and the Revolution through artifacts and exhibits in the Gallery and send your children away for a "camp-in", a night in the barracks, in season for a well-rounded introduction to this historic site.
