The Hoboken House Tour returns! Live & virtual, with a Watch Party at the Museum.

November 29, 2022 @ 12:00 am

Buy tickets here!

On Sunday, December 11, The Hoboken House Tour returns when Hoboken Historical Museum Director Bob Foster and Hoboken Talks producer Rand Hoppe livestream their visits to approximately ten homes of historic, architectural or environmental value. They represent a range of Hoboken lifestyles, and many will display an added, end-of-the-year holiday flair. Join us and your neighbors at the Museum for a Watch Party with light refreshments, or view the Tour from your home on the Museum’s YouTube channel.

The Watch Party at the Museum will begin at 2pm, and includes the unveiling of a newly cast bronze bust of Sinatra by sculptor Chris Dahlberg. The Tour runs from 3-6pm. Tickets are $50 for the Watch Party and $25 to view online, and are available here.  All proceeds support the Museum’s operations.

Bob Foster says, “The Museum’s been holding House Tours for more than twenty-five years. Our first one may have been in 1997. We’ve missed having them these past two years, and are looking forward to the return of the event on Sunday, December 11. These tours offer a great opportunity to see a wide variety of both architecture and home décor. We’ll visit brownstones on Hudson Street and a carriage house on Washington Street, among others, to see how Hobokenites live year-round in classic buildings rather than new construction. The time we’ll spend with the hosts should provide a longer and richer experience than what was possible with the old style self-guided house tours.”

Rand Hoppe says, “For this year’s Hoboken House Tour, Bob and I will be your guides as the hosts take us through these unique homes. You’ll be able to watch live on YouTube and ask questions in real-time. We’re also offering the option to come to the Museum for a ‘Watch Party’ where you can hang with your friends and neighbors while you enjoy all the action on the big screen – and you’ll be able to ask questions, too!”

Sponsorship opportunities are still available. For details, contact Development Manager Olivia Wetherhold here.
