NEW JERSEY

Marking the state's tercentenary this year, 21 small exhibit buildings of unusual construction - peaked roofs suspended from soaring masts - develop the theme: "For three centuries: people, purpose, progress." The exhibits encompass all aspects of New Jersey life, from zinc mining to Sunday picnics. In the center of the complex of buildings is a "village square," where choirs, drum corps, bands and other groups of Jerseymen put on frequent performances.

New Jersey had a prominent location, situated between the New York State pavilion and the Unisphere. (CD17 Set 86 #21)  


 

While far less visible and extravagant than the nearby New York State pavilion, New Jersey hosted a wide range of exhibits in its tent-like buildings. (CD10 Set 50 #17)
