Looking for America on the New Jersey Turnpike

One of the quintessential things that defines New Jersey is the Jersey Turnpike. It is the life-line that connects North and South Jersey and provides major access to New York City and Newark International Airport. Rest stops on the turnpike pay tribute to famous New Jerseyans who have shaped all aspects of American life. Please join us as Angus Gillespie explores the iconography of this historic thoroughfare in discussion of his book Looking for America on the New Jersey Turnpike.
