In honor of the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States, this dynamic panel led by PBS host and producer Darley Newman explores how New Jersey destinations can leverage heritage tourism to support preservation, economic impact, and public engagement—during America 250 and beyond. Drawing from her PBS series Travels with Darley: Revolutionary Road Trip, Newman and her panelists share how inspired storytelling, media partnerships, and cross-state collaboration can elevate historic places and deepen public connection.
