History of the Old Barracks
Thursday April 1, 2010 from 10:00am - 5:00pm
Old Barracks Museum
101 Barrack St
Trenton, New Jersey 08608 Get Directions
"Meet the past" at the Old Barracks Museum. The Old Barracks is a State and National Historic Landmark built in 1758 by the colony of New Jersey as winter quarters for British "regulars" returning from fighting in the frontier regions in the French & Indian War. During the American Revolution, the Barracks was occupied at different times by British/Hessian Forces or the Continental Forces. Following the Battles of Trenton in 1776, the Barracks was steadily controlled by the Continental Army and used as an army hospital for small pox inoculations. The Old Barracks is a "living history" museum portraying the year 1777 with historical interpreters guiding visitors through the infirmary to learn about mandatory small pox inoculations and surgeries performed on soldiers in the Continental Army; into the squad rooms that soldiers occupied as living quarters; through the Officers House; and to view our latest exhibit "All Is Threatened and Endangered...": New Jersey in the French & Indian War.
