Hoboken
Hoboken packs a national transportation and immigration story into a remarkably small city. This walk connects the Stevens family's ferries and railroad experiments, World War I troop piers, immigrant neighborhoods, Sinatra, baseball, precision manufacturing, On the Waterfront and the industrial shoreline's transformation into parks and high-value housing.
