Journal Square Walking Tour - May 12

In honor of preservation month, the JCLC invites you to join us for a walking tour of the charming Journal Square! We'll take you on a journey through this lively neighborhood, showing you interesting spots and sharing fascinating stories along the way. From historic landmarks to hidden gems, there's so much to discover.

The tour will be given by Mandy Edgecombe, a trustee of Jersey City Landmarks Conservancy and licensed NYC tour guide. Whether you're a local or just visiting, come join us for a fun and laid-back adventure through Journal Square!

The JCLC's mission is to provide education to the Jersey City public for free. Our guides and board members work hard to create this content and these events. You are welcome to leave a gratuity only if you are able and enjoyed your program.
