The Old Barracks Museum is set to host their “Marching Out” French and Indian War event on Saturday, March 28 and Sunday March 29 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The event will take place at the museum, 101 Barrack Street in Trenton.
The event will allow guests to experience first-hand what military life was like in the colonies before we fought to become an independent nation. Visitors are invited to experience a typical day in the life of a soldier stationed at the barracks, and to interact with the people who cooked, slept, drilled, and lived within these walls. A tour of the barracks will also be included.
Activities throughout the day will include morning roll call, drill and firelock demonstrations, ration distribution and cooking. There will also be a sutler station at which the soldiers can purchase drink and other sundry items not provided by the crown.
Admission is $8 for Adults, $6 for Seniors and Students and free for children 5 and under as well as active military members. Call (609) 777-3599 or visit barracks.org for more details.
