Patriot's Week in Trenton?

The last week of the year is Patriot's Week in Trenton. Some of the events sound really interesting.

Site tours & ongoing events. Site tours in past years have included:

• First Presbyterian Church, 120 East State Street: whose congregation was founded in 1712 and has been attended by Presidents John Adams and James Monroe, as well as the Marquis de Lafayette and Daniel Webster. Pamphlets are available for self-guided tours of the artwork throughout the building and for the historic burial grounds. Re-enactors will also be available to answer any questions. There will also be historic displays of artifacts from the Church and from the City of Trenton. Comfort facilities are always available.
• Masonic Temple Site Tours (Front & Barrack St.)
• Visitors Center Site Tours (102 Barrack St. Next door to the Masonic Temple.)
• State House Civics Tours (Tours occur at the top of every hour) 125 West State Street: Explore the New Jersey State House, where the laws that affect all New Jersey residents are made. This tour takes visitors through this beautifully restored historic building—listed on both the national and state registers of historic places. For more information, please call the New Jersey State House Tour Office at (609) 633-2709.
• Hidden Treasures (State House, 125 West State Street Entrance): the second-oldest continuously operating State capitol building in the nation. From timbers that date back to 1792 to contemporary art rarely seen by visitors, this tour will take you from the basement to the attic and everywhere in between.
• Old Barracks Museum Tours (101 Barrack Street, (609)396-1776): State and National Historic Landmark built in 1758 by the colony of New Jersey as winter quarters for British “regulars” returning from fighting in the frontier regions in the French & Indian War. During the American Revolution, the Barracks was occupied at different times by British/Hessian Forces or the Continental Forces. Following the Battles of Trenton in 1776, the Barracks was steadily controlled by the Continental Army and used as an army hospital for small pox inoculations. The Old Barracks is a “living history” museum portraying the year 1777 with historical interpreters guiding visitors through the infirmary to learn about mandatory small pox inoculations and surgeries performed on soldiers in the Continental Army; into the squad rooms that soldiers occupied as living quarters; through the Officers House; and exhibits. Admission is $8/adult, $6/child, $6/senior. Children age 5 and under are free.
