About

The Old Barracks was built in 1758 during the French and Indian War. In 1776, it was a witness to the turning point of the American Revolution, when George Washington and 2400 Patriots defeated British and Hessian soldiers at the Battle of Trenton.

Story

The Old Barracks was at the center of the Battle(s) of Trenton, 1776, and was used by the British and Hessians. Later, it served as a military hospital and was the site of perhaps the world's first large-scale smallpox inoculations.

Mission

To preserve the Old Barracks as an historic landmark and for the teaching of colonial American history and culture.

A piece of history right in our midst, next to the state legislature. Great enactments and events all day long on Saturdays. The actors are devoted and in character, everything from a real cooking demonstration to a rather detailed account of smallpox inoculation

Wife and i visited last summer. It was beautifully preserved. Our tour guide was excellent and very engaging. Everyone should see this at least once!

tour was super boring. Tour guide spent 20 minutes talking about small pox. It would have been more interesting to hear about battles, or more on the life of the soldiers. And at the end of the tour you can watch a movie about the history of some of the battles there...well the TV was broken so movie--- what a waste of $16. She gave us free passes to come back and watch the movie---really?? we are going to drive an hour to come back? Not!

$8/adult admission fee. We had a guide introducing the history and showing us around. This is a very nice small tourist place. They have a small gift shop. It normally will take 2 hours ish.

Building and exhibits are great. Tour guide knew more than he could've shared in a weeklong tour! Staff was great and friendly. Passing thru from out of state and not only did I get a historical lesson on the barracks, but on the whole state and country! Would recommend to anybody looking for entertainment and information
