1903-1909-1926 TRENTON'S HISTORIC "OLD BARRACKS"



It has always been a complete mystery to me why our town fathers back in the 19th and into the 20th century failed to capitalize on the incredible history of one of the most historic cities in America. As I page through millions of local history pages, I see countless articles and photos of the destruction of incredibly historic buildings; all in the name of "progress."  However, one of our Trenton treasures still exists and thanks to the wonderful folks who staff Trenton's historic "Old Barracks," a priceless treasure has survived.

Hi Tom: The Old Barracks is a true Trenton treasure. We took a tour many years ago and were impressed with the preservation and care. It was a wonderful morning and one that I will not forget. I had not been through in many, many years and had forgotten what a wonderful treasure it is. As always, thanks for you wonderful website.
