New Jersey

In the third edition of this classic guide, Barbara Westergaard surveys the state’s rich diversity while providing the most up-to-date information on several hundred of New Jersey’s towns, cities, and parks. Entries are arranged alphabetically with concise yet thorough descriptions detailing what there is to see and do in each community and its surrounding area and how each place is connected to its past. The book lists museums, parks, historical points of interest, natural and recreational areas, and many other attractions.  There is even a guided tour of the New Jersey Turnpike—the most heavily traveled toll road in the country. Updated for this edition, the book includes new points of interest and population figures.
