SUMMARY:Old Town Newark Walking Tour [Museum of Local History]
DESCRIPTION:Newark Walking Tour SAT July 11th Old Town Newark Walking Tour the tour starts at 11 a.m. Participants should meet at Watkins Hall on the corner of Rich Ave. and Sycamore St. in Newark Led by Matthew Jorgens Introduction\nThis walking tour is designed to allow the reader to walk down a few streets in Old Town Newark\, leading the reader along with descriptions and pictures of the different historical buildings and sites. The tour starts at the corner of Thornton and Ash Streets. It proceeds down Ash Street to Snow Street\, then from Snow Street to Wells Avenue and then to Filbert Street. At Filbert Street we head north to Carter Street and then to Sycamore Street. Once on Sycamore St.\, we head south to Graham Ave. to visit the original St. Edwards Church. We proceed to Rich Ave and then to Thornton Ave. where we make our way back to our starting point. The tour covers the core of old Newark as it existed for many years. This walking tour came from my quest to capture the history of Newark from its inception to the bustling community that it is today. My vision is to someday have a "virtual" museum of the history of Newark that will be available online 24 hours a day. I found during this adventure that there are many others who appreciate the history of our community and have contributed greatly to this cause. For the buildings that are now gone\, I have noted where they once stood. A number of sources were used to research the material in the tour\, including books\, newspapers\, and oral histories.
