Old Barracks Museum, Military museum in Trenton, United States.
The Old Barracks Museum features exhibits displaying colonial military artifacts, weapons, uniforms, and documents from the French and Indian War period.
Constructed in 1758, the building served as quarters for British troops until 1776, when General Washington captured it during the Battle of Trenton.
The museum hosts educational programs and military reenactments that demonstrate colonial warfare techniques, soldier life, and medical practices from the 18th century.
The museum at 101 Barrack Street offers guided tours every hour from Tuesday through Saturday, with special rates for students and military personnel.
This structure initiated the first large-scale smallpox inoculation program in Western history, protecting Continental Army soldiers between 1777 and 1783.
