Review & FAQ:
The Hessian Barracks is a historic barracks and school building that were used during the 19th century for a variety of uses, ranging from a state armory and silkworm production site to a hospital during the American Civil war and possibly prison. Originally comprised of two L-shaped buildings, one of which was demolished in the 1870s, today, the barracks consist of a two-story stone structure with a gable roof and gallery porches. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Hessian Barracks are closed to the public, pending restoration, except for special events.
