Old Barracks Museum Featured at Club Meeting

Have you been to the Old Barracks Museum in Trenton lately?
Matt Travers, one of the museum’s historical interpreters, was our guest speaker on September 27 and gave us a sense of the history of the barracks, including its role primarily as a hospital during the American Revolutionary War.
Check out some of the upcoming events at the museum (details at www.barracks.org):
  • Fall Lecture Series – Authors discuss their books about the major battle at Germantown (Oct. 10) and Thomas Jefferson’s daughters – two by his wife, one by his slave, Sally Hemings (Oct. 17).  Free admission.  Both start at 6 p.m.
  • All Barracks Eve (Oct. 25) – Spooky tales told by historically-outfitted storytellers.
The Old Barracks is open on a regular basis Wednesday through Saturday 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.
