High Street/Downtown Walking Tour!

On Sunday, June 13th, join us for a walking tour of MLK Blvd (formerly High Street) and with a walk back through Lincoln Park and Downtown. High Street is one of Newark's most historic streets. Come and learn about the fascinating history of buildings like the Hotel Riviera, B'Nai Jeshurun, the Feigenspan Mansion, the Brick Towers site, the Kenney Memorial Hospital, the old YMHA, the Krueger Mansion, Arts High School, the Essex County Courthouse, and more!

We will be spending most of our time on High Street, but we will be walking back along Clinton Avenue and then up Broad Street. We have received permission to see inside Hopewell Baptist/B'nai Jeshurun too.

The tour will begin at 2:00 and, if you stay until the end, will last 2 hours, 45 minutes. We will go in all weathers except torrential rain or heat above 90 degrees. Please bring water with you. If the weather is threatening, please check the front page of www.newarkhistory.com for an announcement of cancellation.

The meeting place is Arts High School at 550 MLK Boulevard, seen in the background image.
