In 1524, explorer Giovanni da Verrazano described the cliffs along the west bank of the Hudson River as "a fence of stakes," or "Palisades."
Join author and photographer Kevin Woyce for a colorful illustrated presentation about one of New Jersey's most impressive landmarks, from its formation and discovery to the American Revolution park's major trails, from abandoned riverfront beaches and ferry landings to a vanished cliff top world of mansions and grand hotels. The program will also feature a “virtual” visit to Fort Lee, when it was the home of the silent movie industry, and the Palisades Amusement Park, the setting of the bestselling novel “Palisades Park”. This is a perfect program to help you plan a day trip before the summer is over!
