The Biggest Little Museum in New |ersey...In a small space in one of the oldest buildings on Hobokentwaterfront, the Hoboken Historical Museum showcases the

history of a city that mirrors the evolution of America. From

its origins as a leisure destination for New Yorkers where the

first organized baseball match was played on the Elysian Fields,

Hoboken evolved into a thriving port of immigration from the

1870s to the 1920s. Until the 1960s, it was a busy factory town and

commercial port, where On the Waterfront was filmed. Today, the

city is better known for its waterfront walkway, bars and restau-

rants, and, ofcourse, as the home ofa certain blue-eyed singer and

the "Cake Boss."

These iconic contributions to American culture are among

the many subjects of award-winning exhibitions of photos and

artifacts displayed over the past decade in our 2,000-square-foot

gallery. The Museum also hosts talks, films, theater and festivals

celebrating the rich heritage of this multicultural mecca. In the

Upper Gallery, exhibits by artists interpret Hoboken and ourregion.
