What Exit? New Jersey and Its Turnpike <http://www.jerseyhistory.org/what_exit/index.html>. Created by the New Jersey Historical Society in conjunction with the American Social History Project. Janet Rassweiler, project director; Ellen M. Snyder-Grenier, online exhibition curator; Pennee Bender, producer; Andrea Ades Vasquez, co-producer and designer; Joshua Brown, co-producer and artist.
