commemorating the American victory at the first Battle of
Trenton, NJ. It is located in an area of the city known as
"Five Points." It was here, at the intersection
of North Broad Street, Warren Street and Brunswick, Pennington
and Princeton Avenues. Built in 1932 to commemorate the war
to end all wars, the Trenton War Memorial was conceived as
"a great community center." The War Memorial lived
up to its planners' intentions from the start. Its architectural
details included elaborate bronze fixtures, Mueller tile fountain,
blue terra cotta ceiling of the Memorial Court, aluminum mezzanine
railings and elegant ceiling medallion above the grand auditorium.
To sum it all up in one word, it is "beautiful."
Celebrate the centennial of the creation of the Old Barracks
Museum with a sampling of items from the Association's 100
years of collecting on display for your amazement, amusement
and bemusement.
In 1903, when the Ladies of the Association were opening the
doors to the museum, the furnishings they used to tell the
story of the Trenton Barracks are very different from the
furniture and accessories we use today as an accredited member
of the American Association of Museums. Chairs, tables and
grandfather clocks, firearms, Victoriana, dinner china for
96, Toby jugs, portraits, textiles and more have found their
way into the marvelously eclectic Collection over the years.
What is collected today--in keeping with the Old Barracks
Association's mission and with established museum practices--is
very different from what was collected one hundred, or even
thirty, years ago. The objects we're sharing with the public
tell a story, each piece on its own and as a group, of a museum's
creation and growth.
