The Old Barracks will host 18th century carpenters, bakers, tailors, shoemakers, hatters, gunsmiths, clerks, and members of the Hunterdon County Militia.

All presentations are included in the regular cost of admission: $10-Adult, $8-Student/Senior, Free-Children under 6, Active U.S. Military, Members.
