WASHINGTON VILLAGE
Hidden Jersey City Heights Hamlet To Be Explored
This Preservation Month 2009 Event is Generously Sponsored By Our Preservation-Minded Supporters:
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.
