About the Historic Trenton Masonic Temple
The Historic Trenton Masonic Temple was built in 1926 next to the first Masonic Temple built in New Jersey in 1793. The Temple is across the street from the Old Barracks and sits on ground where the Battle of Trenton was fought. As the home of Freemasons, emphasis was made to give the neo-classical design Temple an impressive and solid appearance, using stone wherever possible. The Temple was the first building in Trenton to be clad in Indiana limestone. The first floor was designed to have a grand parlor, a library, and a game room, providing an elegant setting for the Colonial Ball at Historic Trenton Masonic Temple.
About the Old Barracks Museum
The Old Barracks Museum preserves the history of a building that was built as a French and Indian War military barracks and used as a Revolutionary War military hospital. It stood witness to Washington’s crucial victory at the Battle of Trenton. In 1903, members of the Daughters of the American Revolution and the Colonial Dames organized The Old Barracks Association and spearheaded a campaign to fund a major restoration, in partnership with the State of New Jersey. The building has been used as a museum for over a century, and has frequently been used as a symbol for the state of New Jersey. The Old Barracks Museum welcomes visitors from across the state as well as around the world.
