Lafayette Neighborhood Walking Tour

The Jersey City Landmarks Conservancy invites you to join us for a special walking tour of the Lafayette neighborhood led by lifelong resident, historian, and community advocate Jerome Choice.

Explore the deeply rooted history of Lafayette—home to generations of African American families, civic leaders, artists, and change-makers. Jerome will share stories that highlight the neighborhood’s evolution, resilience, and cultural legacy, bringing overlooked landmarks and local lore to life.

Saturday, May 17th
11-1PM
📍 Meeting Location: In front of the Communipaw Branch of the Jersey City Free Public Library
(Free and open to all ages — wear comfortable shoes!)

This is a unique opportunity to engage with Jersey City’s heritage through the lived experience and voice of a true steward of its past and present.
