Map Talk: Lauren Cook on Sybil’s Cave

March 24, 2013 • 4pm

Join us for a historical look at one of Hoboken’s earliest tourist attractions, Sybil’s Cave. As a prominent stop along Hoboken’s renowned “River Walk” just south of the Elysian Fields, Sybil’s cave attracted thousands of visitors, mostly from Manhattan, who took a ferry across the Hudson to escape their urban environment in the mid-1800s.

The research was performed by Lauren Cook, a registered professional archaeologist, under a grant from the New Jersey Cultural Trust in 2010-2011.
