DESCRIPTION
A museum that offers exhibit galleries, a living history program
featuring New Jersey's role in the American
Revolution. The Barracks were originally built in 1758 by the
colony of New Jersey to house British soldiers during the French
and Indian War. It housed Hessians before the Battle of
Trenton, and was used as a military hospital to inoculate soldiers
against smallpox during much of the Revolutionary War. The
museum also offers indoor or outdoor rental space for private events.
