Constructed to house British troops during the French and Indian War of 1758, the Old Barracks Museum is the last remaining building of its kind in New Jersey. Over the next few decades it was used both as a hospital and to accommodate soldiers, and today, it serves to educate visitors about 18th century life and the history of the area. Guided tours are included in the price of admission, and they're offered at 10am, 12pm, and 2pm. Special tours led by costumed interpreters are also available for groups of all ages.
