Join the Old Barracks for winter festivities during Patriots Week, a beloved celebration of Trenton’s revolutionary role in America’s history.

The Colonial Ball will take place on Friday, December 27, at 7 pm, at the Masonic Temple. Mingle with historically outfitted reenactors and dance to the sounds of colonial America. Complimentary refreshments will be served. Period dress is neither required nor discouraged. Tickets will be available for purchase beginning December 2 at $40 for non-members, and $35 for members. Tickets must be purchased in advance.

The Battles of Trenton Reenactments will be held on Saturday, December 28. The first reenactment will take place at 11 am at the Battle Monument; the second will begin at 3 pm in Mill Hill Park. The reenactments are free to attend. Take advantage of a special $5 admission to the museum grounds on the day of the battles. Watch living history and follow the soldiers as they march out to fight on the original battlefields. These events are rain or shine.

“The Trouble with Trenton” interactive puppet shows, presented by Tuckers Tales, will also be held on Saturday, December 28, at 12 pm and 2 pm at Warren Street Plaza. The puppet shows are a family-friendly “mini” look at American history and are free to attend.
