Journal Square Walking Tour Fundraiser for the Museum of Jersey City History

  • Join the Jersey City Landmarks Conservancy for the Journal Square Walking Tour, a very special benefit event for the Museum of Jersey City History, Jersey City’s extraordinary cultural institution situated in the historic Van Wagenen House (aka “Apple Tree House”) in Bergen Square.

  • $50 via our Eventbrite, with 100% of ticket proceeds going directly to the museum to help sustain their mission of fostering “an authentic sense of community by sharing the rich and diverse history of Jersey City.”

Note: This special walking tour fundraiser for the Museum of Jersey City History will include exclusive access to Journal Square landmarks, including:

  • Stanley Theatre, for a guided walk through the main lobby and balcony areas of this restored and adaptively reused 1928 movie palace;

  • St. John the Baptist Roman Catholic Church, to view the world-famous mosaics and stained glass windows of this 1894 Richardsonian Romanesque Revival colossus;

  • Newkirk House, to experience the original timber-ceilinged rooms and stone walls of this rare, circa-1690 Dutch-era urban farmhouse;

  • And other surprise site visits!
