A GREAT NJ LANDMARK--SEE IT SOON!

Hello NJ folks--and anyone looking to visit a cool place in NJ.  You should check out one of oldest--and most easily accessible--landmarks:  The Old Barracks Museum, located in Trenton, NJ, right near the Capitol Building.  The Old Barracks Museum, built before the FRENCH AND INDIAN WAR, is a great place to experience a hands-on history lesson. Perfect for families, schools, scouts and other groups, the Old Barracks Museum lets you step back in time and learn about life during the French and Indian War, and again during the Revolution, when the Barracks was occupied by the Hessians!

Following the well-versed, knowledgeable docents dressed in period-piece garb, you will learn interesting historical facts while having fun doing it!
Check out my article about the Barracks posted here for more information, or go to www.barracks.org .

But visit soon--due to State budget cuts, the Barracks may soon close--and then a vital piece of American history will be lost forever.
