Hoboken Historical Museum

I love this Museum I went there with my girl best friend I was so amazed by the historical stuff on the walls specially when we down stairs there’s this sitting area we’re u can watch a movie that’s based on Frank Sinatra such an amazing movie, The owner was super nice I will definitely come back. To enter its 5$

the first museum I visited in the USA.

The environment is great and all staffs are friendly and warm.

I learnt lots of history about the Avenue and Hoboken. I am not good at name memory, but I really would love to say thanks to Barb, Victoria and Ritz, they made me a good afternoon.

I also got a walk map from the museum and I do hope that I can walk around Hoboken a deep trip.

The music and photography are excellent too. If you are new here, it’s a great place to connect you more with your future home.

Out of all cities in the country, Hoboken has one of the most interesting histories, so it's well worth your time to visit. There's a little too much Frank, but that's OK, it's all good. Donations are welcome and membership is available.

Very nice little museum with friendly and informative guides. We had a great visit and received a free postcard with admission.

Plus: they are dog friendly!

Very awesome museum. Only $5 entrance fee and we got a free postcard ! Everyone was so friendly and informative. They change the exhibit frequently so would definitely go back. Spent between 60-90 minutes here!

Fun, informative museum about the history of Hoboken. There are some exceptional Sinatra documentaries and they are currently featuring circus artwork by a local artist. The curators are clearly passionate about what they do and eager to answer any of the patron’s questions. Conveniently located next to an excellent grocery store and Pier 13, you could easily make an afternoon out of visiting this area.

Stopping by made my visit to the square mile city even more special and I got to learn a bit about the place. Saw a very interesting exhibit on the second floor about by an old circus performer as well. Nice and welcoming staff. I do recommend.

Hoboken has so much history for such a small town, it's great to have a organization that preserves it. A cool little museum with rotating exhibits on different aspects of the city's past. They also have a small gift shop to get you Hoboken related swag....

Well done! History of Hoboken is well presented and as a member of the Historical Society we have received "Chapbooks" which tell the story of Hoboken residents and how they came to live in the city. Very important to keep these stories alive!

I have purchased two old-time photos from the museum that capture the city perfectly! Support this museum becuase it would be a shame if the stories of the city can't continue to be told!

It is a tiny little place with a lot of cool old photos and postcards. The real value, however, is the free online database they maintain of cool history related to Hoboken.

Hoboken has changed rapidly over the past few decades and it's important that we preserve the rich history. The place offers so more than just luxury buildings, acai bowls, and "pop-up parks". It was an industrial city that has been gentrified and this museum gives us a small look at Hobokens past.

The Hoboken Museum is a place that takes you back to a tangible time. The plethora of postcards adorning the walls, the Frank Sinatra shrine set up like a cozy livingroom. And speaking of cozy, the staff makes you feel right at home. Well worth the $5 admission fee. If you can, buy a book from their shop, or drop a little extra $ in their box. It's important to sustain the keepers of Hoboken's history. Book your trip today and start spreading da' news. ;-)

My first visit to the Hoboken Historical Museum was as a photographer hired to shoot the Google Virtual Tour for their location. In the process we also had the pleasure of meeting the staff and viewing the exhibit. It is an interesting place, well laid out, and has some great items on display on each level. We recommend it highly for anyone visiting Hoboken!

A gem!
Thoughtfully curated history of Hoboken, with excellent and interesting temporary exhibits as well.
The staff are knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful.
I'll be returning soon!

They set the standard for a small town museum. The downstairs space features in-depth exhibitions of local interest, such as Frank Sinatra or the centennial of World War I. Lecture series from experts accompany these exhibits. The upstairs space is a gallery, highlighting the best local artists in a variety of media. The museum also runs community and family events.

It's a unique museum. That's interesting because it's a rotating exhibits that concentrate on the various aspects of Hoboken history form the foundation of the Hoboken Historical Museum. Also I could saw some popular displays include the city's contribution to American music, the history of the Hudson River, and art galleries for local artists.

Beautiful space that honors and shares diversity.

Nice place to know the history of Hoboken.

I have walked or driven by here thousands of times. Finally stopped in with some friends. Well worth it even for old Hobokeners like me. Well presented, clear exhibits for this small, devoted museum. Go!

Had the pleasure of visiting this gem of a place today. Very nice and full of history. What I liked the most was meeting the nice gentleman who greeted us and showed us around. You made our visit even better.
