MOTHERS' DAY EVENT - BEACONS OF BERGEN HILL: A WALKING TOUR WITH HISTORIAN DENNIS DORAN

Sunday, May 10, 2:00-4:00 p.m. Cost: $5; $3 for seniors and students with current ID. MOTHERS ADMITTED FREE! Meet at the front entrance to The Beacon, formerly the Jersey City Medical Center, 50 Baldwin Avenue. Rain or shine!

Guided by historian Dennis Doran. This newly established walking tour focuses on the history and architecture of one of Jersey City's first "suburbs": the area along the beginning of the Palisades just north of Grand Street. Here Dutch farms gave way in the mid-19th century to extraordinary set-back mansions. Continuous slate sidewalks, awesome brownstones, old street trolley junctions and a former City Hall (now condos) all help to illuminate what just might be Jersey City's most beautiful neighborhood.

Note: "Beacons of Bergen Hill" will highlight the Conservancy's efforts to save the threatened St. John's Episcopal Church. We hope you are able to come out and sign our postcard petition! For more information contact Dennis Doran at dgdoran91@comcast.net.

TODAY'S PRESERVATION MONTH EVENT - WASHINGTON VILLAGE: A WALKING TOUR WITH HISTORIAN PAT GUIDA Cost: $5; $3 for students and seniors. Meet at Central Avenue and Hutton Street, Jersey City Heights. Washington Village was a section of the Jersey City Heights, largely populated by Germans during the late 19th and early 20th century. We will explore the residential area from Central Avenue to Ogden Avenue as well as sites that were used by the Germans for religious, educational and social purposes. We will also visit a site where two innovative techniques helped to solve the problem of traveling between Hoboken where many other Germans lived and the village perched on the steep Palisades. For more information email Pat at pdg293@comcast.net.

The tours are usually LIGHT RAIN OR SHINE - and it seems every year the Lafayette History Festival & Tour gets hit with rain - but the tourists come out anyway with their umbrellas, and many landmarks are wide open - Unless it's a monsoon, the tours are on! - We will be posting plenty more on JCLIST throughout the month of May, so keep your weekends open for discovering many inaccessible historic sites in JC! - And also check our revved-up website at www.jclandmarks.org for updates and sign our email list! - Thanks, John Gomez

I am really happy to see that historic areas of JC other than downtown are getting some recognition. I am looking forward to the tour tomorrow. Is there a raindate?
