Well worth your time and money. You need to buy your tickets and reserve your time online,, but limited attendance due to COVID meant that my wife and I had a private tour just shy of 2 hours long. James, our building tour guide, was very friendly, personable, and knowledgeable. He was able to answer all of our obscure questions about living at the barracks and the history of its preservation. Asher, the soldier reenactor, was similarly knowledgeable on the life and skills of colonial soldiers. He also gave us a fantastic musket demonstration with 2 blank fires. David, the woodworker reenactor, was actually working on a new wood shed as he imparted his historical and woodworking knowledge on us. All the construction he did, and was doing, utilized traditional and period-correct pegs and joints. If you're anywhere near Trenton and even mildly interested in history, the Old Barracks is a place that you simply have to experience. At $10/ticket (free for military), your money spent here goes to keeping this living historical site open for future visitors to enjoy.
Our family (3rd & 5th grade) had an amazing experience..everyone that worked there was so excited about history. They were prepared to answer all kinds of questions and we're very knowledgeable. We highly recommend it!
Very cool if your a history buff!
This place was awesome, if you love history and appreciate artifacts this is a great place to go. I happen to get lucky and got to see them fire off there guns and get grand tour . Only happens once a year for the firing of the guns.
Fun and immersive! My husband and I both remember having visited here as kids and it was still really interesting as adults.
