Mission Statement

As a touchstone for colonial and revolutionary history in New Jersey, the Old Barracks Museum brings the world of colonial America to life through interpretive programs, exhibits, and preservation so that visitors can appreciate New Jersey’s history, the diverse people who made it, and why it matters.

The colony of New Jersey built the barracks in Trenton to house soldiers. Two hundred and sixty years later, the Old Barracks Museum is still teaching the history of the Revolutionary War.
