Reply to comment by mooseLimbsCatLicks in Let's make a list - What 25 places/things are core to JC? by Jahooodie

I'm not personally unaware of the historic nature of the parks, but am asking the question in relation to including them in the list. I guess the people downvoting me don't get that? Most cities of that era would have somewhat similar parks. What makes ours so uniquely must-see, is my point. Maybe the story that was the life of Van Vorst- fancy rich people area, crack houses in the 80s, and the revival had the wonderful VVP Association volunteers make it the wonderful spot it is today

Debated including Morris Canal in the OP, as it's incredibly important to early American history but most folks don't know why. Would you point people to the Morris Square Park plaques as 'the point'?

I think if you don’t know what you’re seeing, it’s not that valuable. It would be cool to have a historic tour of jc with a tour guide.

I wonder if there is a collection of where the historic signs are , and there could be just a trail to follow to read about the various histories.
