Discover The Island residential district with our architectural historians — there’s nothing else quite like it in all of Jersey City!
Join us in supporting the Historic Jersey City & Harsimus Cemetery with our newest fundraiser walking tour of The Island on Saturday, July 18, 2026, from 12:00 to 2:00 p.m. Meets at the 1916 Cemetery Gatehouse, 435 Newark Avenue, Jersey City, New Jersey. $25 via our Eventbrite. Enter 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 — 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. This event is rain or shine. Wear comfortable shoes and clothing; bring sunblock, bug repellent, and hydration bottles. Expect some sloping streets, narrow sidewalks, dense grass areas, and steep steps. A portion of tickets sales for this very special architectural walking tour will go to the Historic Jersey City & Harsimus Cemetery.
