250th Anniversary Commemoration Of The Treaty Of Paris Signaling The End Of The Anglo-French War In Trenton, NJ On April 14, 2013

On April 14, 2013, The Old Barracks in Trenton, NJ hosted a Commemoration of the Treaty Of Paris of 1763 which ended the Anglo-French War as part of the Seven Years War [also known as the French And Indian War (which I prefer not to use)]. The Old Barracks itself was built during and was used during this particular War (specifically in 1758). It was stop number two of my History Marathon/History Workout that day.

I was glad to see the Old Barracks host an event for such an overlooked conflict. I had to attend. Here are some photographs and a video of the day ...
