An inspiration!I experienced my first trip to the Hessian Barracks during the summer of 2005 and was so inspired by the building and its historic contents that I return on a regular basis. I recommend that Frederick citizens and visitors alike take the time to explore and learn more about the history of this grand place.Was this review helpful? Yes - No(Report Problem)2 of 2 Yahoo!

Hessian Barracks YEAH!In a tiny city such as Frederick one would be suprised to find a historical mine such as the Hessian Barracks. I had a great tour guide who was very informative. Also the atmosphere was a very comforting one. It is located on one of the best Deaf School's in the USA which is also a point of interest.

Sarah L.Walking on the Maryland school of the Deaf campus, I was pleasantly surprised by the amazing Hessian Barracks.
