The Island: A Walking Tour of Jersey City's Hidden Historic Neighborhood

Join architectural historian and preservation activist John Gomez for a special exploration of this secret historic neighborhood.
About this Event

Join us in supporting the Historic Jersey City & Harsimus Cemetery ($10 from each ticket will be donated to the cemetery) with our newest walking tour. Enter a forgotten historic neighborhood — accessible only by two narrow truss foot-and-car bridges spanning a 200-year-old rail cut now used by PATH — to find quiet slopes and cul-de-sacs, no-outlet lanes, back alleys, and hairpin turns atop ancient rock formations, with each street lined with 19th-century townhouses, mid-century modern mews, white picket fences, and elevated gardens. Co-sponsored with the Historic Harsimus & Jersey City Cemetery.
