Elizabeth's Historic Heartline Walking Tour

Are your kids bored with history? Do they have a hard time finding it relevant? If so, Elizabeth's historical city walking tours can help give them a brand new perspective. With smartphone-enabled audio accompanying historical streets and architecture that span over 350 years, even the biggest history detractors will love learning about Elizabeth's rich past.

Walking Tour Highlights There are many historical sites that are part of the Elizabeth's Historic Heartline Walking Tour. The walking tour, for example, includes the Belcher-Ogden Mansion . It also features the Bonnell House , which is one of the oldest residences in the state, built between 1670 and 1685. The walking tour also stops at the Snyder Academy of Elizabethtown , First Presbyterian Church , Elizabeth River Trail , the Elizabeth Public Library , Liberty Hall , Ritz Theater , Minute Man Statue , St. John's Episcopal Church, Veteran's Memorial Waterfront Park , and Boxwood Hall , which hosted George Washington and Alexander Hamilton among others. The walking tour gives visitors an opportunity to explore at their own pace and experience Elizabeth's history as New Jersey's first provincial capital up to the city's current role as the county seat of Union County.

Point of Interest: Elizabeth River Trail The Elizabeth River Trail highlights the history of Elizabeth with artwork from local artists displayed along its path. The trail restores some of the natural beauty of the urban waters that played an important part in Elizabeth’s development as a city.

Point of Interest: Ritz Theatre Built-in 1926 and known for its Art Deco design, the Ritz Theatre is one of the largest and oldest fully operational theaters in New Jersey. Over the years, many legendary performers have graced this majestic theater’s stage, from the Marx Brothers, George Burns, and Jack Benny, Ray Charles, Harry Chapin, Maya Angelou, Chaka Kahn, Rodney Dangerfield, Miles Davis, and many others. The theatre was a cultural landmark through the 1960s.

Point of Interest: St. John's Episcopal Church Founded in 1706, the church is known for its features, including stained glass, rich woodwork and a cemetery. St. John’s Episcopal Church is known as one of the oldest Episcopal Churches in America. Jonathan Dayton, who lived at Boxwood Hall, is buried in an unmarked grave in this church's cemetery. Dayton had served as a lieutenant and paymaster in the Revolutionary War. In 1789, he was one of four signers of the United States Constitution for the state of New Jersey.

How Does Elizabeth's History's Heartline Walking Tour work?

Best places to visit in new jersey.

Located between the cultural hubs of Philadelphia and New York City, New Jersey often gets overlooked. But with roughly 130 miles of coastline, impressive national historical parks, recreation areas and trails, and a fascinating past, the Garden State has a lot to offer. To help you decide which destination is right for you, U.S. News considered factors like unique attractions, historical sites and beautiful scenery to determine the best places to visit in New Jersey. Cast your vote below to have a say in next year's ranking.

Long Beach Island

Ocean city, nj, the wildwoods, delaware water gap, jersey city, atlantic city, seaside heights.

Located on the southern tip of New Jersey, Cape May is the oldest seaside resort in America. Although it receives praise from travelers thanks to its pristine beaches (The Cove and Sunset Beach are two highly recommended spots), this charming coastal town is also home to more than 600 colorful Victorian-style buildings and one of the largest collections of 19th-century framed buildings in the country. When you're not touring the elegant Emlen Physick Estate or climbing to the top of the historic Cape May Lighthouse, check out the retail stores at Washington Street Mall, an outdoor shopping center that's lined with restaurants, boutiques and art galleries.

Accessible by boat or car, this island spans 18 miles and has no shortage of attractions to explore. Watch a live performance at the Surflight Theatre, learn about New Jersey's maritime history at the New Jersey Maritime Museum or catch some sun at Ship Bottom Beach. For panoramic views of Barnegat Bay, head to Barnegat Lighthouse State Park and climb "Old Barney," a famous red and white structure located on the northern tip of the island. If you're looking for something the whole family will love, consider spending a day at Thundering Surf Waterpark or Fantasy Island Amusement Park.

Known for its 8 miles of Jersey Shore coastline, Ocean City touts itself as "America's Greatest Family Resort." The bustling boardwalk is the area's focal point, boasting rides, gift shops and tasty restaurants where visitors can refuel after a day at the beach. If you're looking for a break from the sand, stroll past the storefronts along Asbury Avenue or check out Corson's Inlet State Park's numerous hiking trails. Just remember that Ocean City is a "dry" resort town, meaning that alcohol cannot be sold or purchased within town limits.

This family-friendly resort town on New Jersey's southern shore is perfect for travelers who prefer a lot of activity on their beach vacations. Head to the coast for a variety of water sports such as surfing, boogie boarding and jet skiing, or take in the lively atmosphere at the Wildwoods Boardwalk. Here, visitors can grab a bite to eat, pick up a souvenir or ride the iconic Sightseer Tramcar. Opt instead for the Splash Zone Waterpark or Morey's Piers and Water Parks if waterslides and thrilling roller coaster rides are on your agenda.

Straddling the border between Pennsylvania and New Jersey, the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area covers more than 70,000 acres of forested mountains, small beaches and historic villages. Hikers, hunters and beachgoers flock to this park for its scenic landscapes and ample recreational opportunities. Stay overnight in one park's numerous campsites, then spend the day chasing waterfalls or swimming in the Middle Delaware River. Just remember – the currents are strong and the drop-off is sharp, so a lifejacket is recommended whenever you're getting in the water.

Often referred to as the "sixth borough" of New York City, this metropolitan city is a popular jumping-off point for those wanting to explore the Big Apple. However, savvy travelers know that Jersey City's cultural attractions, ample green space and charming brownstones make it a destination worth exploring all on its own. Check out the exhibits at the Liberty Science Center, stroll the Hudson River Waterfront Walkway or pay your respects at the Empty Sky 9/11 Memorial. Save time for a picnic at Liberty State Park, where you can catch a ferry to must-visit sights such as Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty.

Bordering the Hudson River, this tiny city spans less than 2 square miles. But don't let its small size fool you – Hoboken's wide range of activities offer something for everyone. Eat your way through Washington Street's trendy restaurants, then grab a drink at one of the city's numerous bars. Meanwhile, fans of the hit TLC show "Cake Boss" can satisfy their sweet tooth at the original Carlo's Bakery, and history buffs will enjoy perusing the Hoboken Historical Museum. Before you leave, soak up some sun at Pier A Park or paddle the Hudson River in a kayak rental (free on select weekends throughout the summer) from the Hoboken Cove Community Boathouse.

Although best known for its eponymous Ivy League university, the town of Princeton offers a wide range of activities and attractions for visitors to enjoy. Take a walking tour of Princeton University's historic campus, past famous sights like Nassau Hall and the Princeton University Chapel, then peruse the shops at Palmer Square. For an extra dose of history, pay a visit to the Morven Museum & Garden or check out the site of the Battle of Princeton at Princeton Battlefield State Park.

One of the most popular tourist destinations in the country, Atlantic City is best known for its energetic beaches and wide array of casinos. Soak up some sun at Atlantic City Beach or hit the slot machines at the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa . Just don't miss an opportunity to stroll along the city's roughly 4-mile-long boardwalk – this famous walkway is brimming with saltwater taffy shops, arcade games and glitzy hotels. When you're ready for a change of pace, Atlantic City boasts several championship golf courses where you can work on your swing.

This tiny town north of Long Beach Island draws travelers for its lively atmosphere, friendly beaches and action-packed boardwalk. When you're not watching the sun set over Barnegat Bay or riding go-karts at the Casino Pier & Breakwater Beach Waterpark, stop in one of Seaside Heights' many arcades. Ample dining and shopping options are available along the boardwalk, and the town is home to a variety of low-key beach bars. Meanwhile, fans of MTV's hit reality television show "Jersey Shore" won't want to miss a visit to the legendary Shore Store and can even tour the original house where cast members stayed during filming.

#1 Tour in Princeton on TripAdvisor

This was a fun way to spend an hour. The tour guide was sooooo entertaining, enthusiastic and knowledgeable...the neighborhoods were beautiful...we live locally and knew NONE of the stories or facts learned during the tour. Very easy to book and boarding was prompt and organized. Would consider other tours after enjoying this one so much.

This tour is a must for first time Princeton visitors. Easily walk through highlights of university and then local neighborhoods. Tim’s story telling around the history, architecture and famous students and/or residents was captivating and fun! Even if you’ve visited Princeton before, don’t miss this tour!!!

We had a great time learning about Princeton, the city we just moved to. Tim, our tour guide, did a very good job telling us stories about influential people in Princeton, including his favorite person of all: Albert Einstein. Thank you!

Jen was terrific! From the minute we started til the end of the tour, she really knew her stuff. My husband (who attended Princeton) was really impressed with her knowledge of history and how to relate if to the present day. Best name-dropping tour ever! Highly recommend this walk for anyone interested in this area.

Liberty State Park

Start your self-guided walking tour at the famous Liberty State Park , where you can take in the 1,212 acres worth of green space and panoramic city skyline views. Here you can briefly walk along the waterfront pathway to see the 9-11 memorial until you get to the Liberty Landing Marina and take a quick ferry over to Paulus Hook.

Museum of Russian Art (MORA)

In Paulus Hook, walk a few blocks from the ferry to get to the Museum of Russian Art (MORA). The museum regularly hosts opening and closing events for their artist exhibitions, plus, live performances, readings and informational sessions that are budget-friendly. The suggested donation for non-members to enter the museum is only $10 a pop.

Hudson River Waterfront Walkway

Head back towards the river to the famous Hudson River Waterfront Walkway. On this long waterfront stretch you’ll see fishermen trying their luck off the edge of the piers, the panoramic view of the city skyline and the plenty of locals in this business and residential area.

RoofTop at Exchange Place

Exchange Place is known for its luxury high-rise apartments, top-notch waterfront location and a swanky interior. Its rooftop bar? Well, that’s no exception. Aptly named RoofTop at Exchange Place, this newly-opened bar features all the best this neighborhood has to often, plus, handcrafted cocktails, flavorful eats and that view. While you’re here, don’t pass it by, be sure to stop in for a specialty drink and a picturesque scene.

J. Owen Grundy Park

Just a short walk from RoofTop Bar at Exchange Place is a waterfront pier that juts out into the river with a pavilion and park to enjoy. Stop here to take in the sights and sounds of the two cities. If you’re hungry grab something from one of the local food trucks nearby or shade yourself in the outdoor picnic area.

Newark Avenue Pedestrian Plaza

After visiting the waterfront, make your way over to the historic downtown area to visit the Newark Avenue Pedestrian Plaza. Stroll up and down this four-block-long plaza past storefronts, bars and restaurants under the glittering string lights. During the warmer months, it draws a bigger crowd of people taking a reprieve outside the bars and restaurants, which makes it all the more fun for people watching.

Lutze Biergarten

There’s no better place to end your walking tour than at Lutze Biergarten, a kid- and dog-friendly spot that has a casual yet lively atmosphere. Here, you can get a good beer, a budget-friendly bite to eat at a food truck nearby, and oh, yeah, panoramic city skyline and riverfront views. Now is the time to sit back, take it all in and relax!

Hands down, this is the best tour company.

The food selected at each location was outstanding. We have been on food tours in a number of cities but noteworthy here was Alessia’s relationship at each restaurant.

Owner and tour guide Alessia is a foodie expert and will show you an amazing time. We had so much fun and even made new friends!

Beyond the Plates Tour was the perfect balance of delicious food, unique cocktails, and good company! Our tour guide Johnny was both informative and passionate while speaking about each restaurant we visited. Every chef/manager we met along the way was inviting and friendly—not to mention their food was incredible!
