National Historic Landmark – Old Barracks (Trenton)

This 2-1/2 story field stone structure is the only surviving barracks of five erected by New Jersey's Colonial legislature to house troops during the French and Indian War.

At different times during the Revolution, American and British soldiers and Hessian mercenaries were quartered here;

Hessians were here on Christmas 1776 when Washington crossed the Delaware and surprised the Trenton garrison.
