I went during a break from jury duty (the courthouse is across the street), and was welcomed by a friendly volunteer. The painting in the lobby is wonderful and original (Leutz, I think?) and the exhibits are always top-notch. I was lucky enough to be meet their archivist who answered some family history questions for me, and gave me suggestions for further reading. I can't wait to go back to the next exhibit!
The exhibit, Springsteen His Hometown is there through the fall of 2020. Whole staff is wonderful and they put together a really special exhibit...a must see!
Loved the Springsteen exhibit! On a personal note I ran into a bit of a low sugar situation and was looking for a soda machine. A young man brought me a piece of cake to bring up my sugar...i was so grateful! Seriously how nice was he to do that? So impressed. Not too many ppl like that anymore! Thank you!!
Bruce Springsteen exhibit. Lots of photos and history from his life. $15 general admission, $12 senior. Good for an afternoon visit, takes close to 2 hours if you take your time and read every plaque.
The current exhibit on Bruce Springsteen highlighted his connection to his hometown of Freehold. His story was told with pictures of his childhood, guitars, memoribila from tours and quotes from his songs. A short but excellent movie from the archives showed how he was influenced by growing up here and was the inspiration for many of his lyrics. Well done but I wanted more. $15 admission, $12 senior.
Saw the Springsteen exhibit was wonderful crowed with bruce fans learned how far back his family went
This mueseum features an impressive display about the life of Bruce Springsteen. Anyone who knows about him and his music should go and see this tribute to a living legend for our time. Very enjoyable.
