Newark Walking Tour

By Alan Nagy

This tour booklet covers old town Newark and the length is about a square mile. The route winds through many of the sites that were part of the original founding of the City of Newark, beginning with the railroad.

The tour begins at Watkins Hall on the corner of Thornton Blvd and Ash Street and then goes down to the Snow Home and Museum. From there it winds its way up to Wells Avenue where the Pacific Land and Investment Co. Building, later the Chamber of Commerce (1910) still stands. The tour then crosses the tracks to where the two old hotels once stood, and then up to Sycamore, over to Thornton and back down to Watkins Hall. There are about 22 stops.

Price (including tax): $5.00
Shipping: $3.00 USPS Priority delivery within the US
Total: $8.00
