The Old Barracks Association's Annual Appeal
As 2023 ends, the Old Barracks Association has been reflecting on how important our supporters truly are. You all joined us for an amazing calendar of events - including the May Tea and Tavern Night fundraisers, back for the first time since 2019 - joined us for volunteer efforts and brought friends and family to take tours of the museum. We especially look forward to seeing you during Patriots Week, December 26-31!
Many people are under the impression we are entirely state funded. While we do receive some financial support from the state, we still need your continued support for this important State and National Historic Landmark. We ask you to consider making a monetary, tax-deductible donation towards our Annual Fund, which is a wonderful way to take an active stance for historic preservation and interpretation in New Jersey.

This year, donations to the Annual Fund will go towards the new exhibits planned for the Semiquincentennial celebration in 2026, which marks 250 years of American history since the signing of the Declaration of Independence. These exhibits will unveil new research about the history of the Trenton barracks, the Battles of Trenton, and French and Indian War, and the Old Barracks Association’s role in New Jersey since 1902.
The Year in Review, detailing what the Old Barracks has accomplished during the past year, is available below. We thank you for supporting us in the past! You are needed to help us keep the Old Barracks the historic gem that it is. It stands here to remind us of our past and to help us go forward in the future.
We wish you a wonderful holiday season and a happy new year! Huzzah!
Sincerely,
Michelle Doherty Lisa Willever
Executive Director President, Board of Trustees
