Join us in supporting the Historic Harsimus & Jersey City Cemetery with our newest architectural walking tour on Sunday, June 14, 2026, from 12:00 — 2:00 p.m., starting at the cemetery’s picturesque 1916 gatehouse at 435 Newark Avenue. Book tickets via Eventbrite and get ready to step into The Island, a virtually forgotten historic neighborhood accessible only by two narrow truss foot-and-car bridges spanning a 200-year-old rail cut now used by PATH, and 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. There is nothing quiet like it in Jersey City!

The Island walking tour is being co-sponsored with the Historic Harsimus & Jersey City Cemetery as a special fundraiser for this incredible grassroots preservation organization working tirelessly to preserve — and keep open to the public — an important cultural heritage site!
