Join the Old Barracks Museum as we celebrate July 4th and America’s 250th anniversary with our grand reopening. We are excited to welcome guests back to the museum and unveil the results of our year-long restoration. The official opening will be at 10:00 AM when we welcome local officials to help us swing open the gates. Visitors are invited to a preview of three new exhibits that highlight the site’s, as well as New Jersey’s, vital role in American history. We will also be displaying for the first time in decades George Washington’s Inaugural Flower Arch, the original historic arch that he passed under during his inaugural march through Trenton. The celebration will include a recreation of the arch, covered with hand-dyed wood flowers, each representing a donor. A group photo will be taken with the donors at 11:00 PM. The vocal duo “Liberty Tree” (Stacy Roth and Bob Dupre) will sing “Welcome Mighty Chief,” an ode written by Major Richard Howell to the tune of Handel’s “See the Conquering Hero Comes,” at 10:30 AM. Join us for a day filled with living history, celebration, and community as we honor our heritage and look to the future!
This event will be free thanks to our sponsor, Hunter Research.
