Jersey City is buzzing with sights to see and history to take in. The 8th-grade class of Hudson Montessori School has recently launched a community outreach project called “JC Journey”, which teaches people about the city’s rich history through a series of digital guided tours. Keep reading for more information on JC Journey and how the Hudson Montessori School students helped put it together.
About JC Journeys
JC Journeys is a series of digital guided tours that lead participants through Jersey City’s rich culture. From street art to historic landmarks, the project’s interactivity is a great way to embrace the city’s history. Hudson Montessori School created the project as part of its Innovative Community Outreach Project (ICOP) 2025-2026, in which the school’s 8th-grade class formed a team and developed the initiative. The students’ project included creating the series, its website, and multiple guided vocal tours. Vocal tours are guided and speak to users digitally as they walk and experience their surroundings, providing context to their tour.

JC Journeys is a free experience that explores a variety of city sights, including parks, murals, restaurants, monuments, and historical landmarks. Participants can embark on one of four guided tours:
- The Red Tour, which goes through Jersey City’s Powerhouse + Arts District
- The Blue Tour, which follows a path through Jersey City’s Downtown
- The Yellow Tour, which brings participants to Paulus Hook
- The Green Tour, which explores Liberty State Park
Guided tours range from 30 minutes to 2 hours and use VoiceMap to guide users. VoiceMap uses GPS to detect location and automatically play relevant audio, allowing users to focus on their surroundings rather than their screens. The guided tours start from a fixed point and follow a route to ensure a proper path is followed.
