The Old Barracks Museum in Trenton has announced the first Trenton Barracks Founders Day on June 13 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. This event will be free thanks to sponsor Hunter Research.

This family-friendly event promises a day filled with fun and entertainment for the entire community. Guests can enjoy a bubble show (11 a.m. and 1 p.m.), face painting, balloon animals, and food trucks, including Gita’s Mobile Cafe, Memos Foodtruck, and Rainbow Snow. There will also be a musical performance by the Blawenburg Band from 2 to 3 p.m., entitled “Listening to the Revolution: 250 Years of American Music.”

The New Jersey State Museum and the 1719 William Trent House Museum will also be on site, providing information and hosting activities throughout the day. The Trent House will host an exhibit and a game based on the theme “Trenton Eyewitness to Revolution.” The New Jersey State Museum will have informational materials for the museum’s programs and exhibits celebrating New Jersey’s and the United States’ 250th anniversary. They will also have an interactive button-making craft inspired by their new exhibition, “Spirit of ‘76: The Bicentennial.”
