SUMMARY:Opening Reception for McKevin Shaughnessy
DESCRIPTION:The Hoboken Historical Museum is excited to invite you to the opening reception of our next exhibit in the Upper Gallery\, “In Retrospect: Selected Works by McKevin Shaughnessy” on Sunday\, September 27th from 2 PM – 5 PM. \nA native of Waukegan\, Illinois\, McKevin made his way east to study art and graphic design – first at the University of Pennsylvania\, and then at Cooper Union. As a transfer student\, he felt that he had to prove himself. Cooper Union instilled a strong work ethic that made a lasting impact on his approach to art. \nWhile searching for an affordable place to live\, McKevin stumbled upon Hoboken. Here he found a creative oasis. The city was teeming with artists and musicians. The effect on his art was immediate. Upon moving here\, he forged collaborations with local creatives who embraced an experimental spirit\, including Gregg Pelligrini and Roger Brooks. Their separate art parties happened as a way to connect with friends and celebrate an avant-garde aesthetic. \nFor one soiree\, his friend Gregg’s storefront apartment was transformed into an underwater bar\, which included a motorized ceiling tarp to mimic the rolling “surf.” McKevin delved into designing light sculpture installations for the parties\, a skill that he taught himself through persistent experimentation. \nBetween 1987-1993\, McKevin exhibited his light sculptures around Hoboken\, including a rooftop Sound & Light show at 1500 Park\, the Jefferson Trust Gallery\, and 720 Monroe. Some of these events were immersive and interdisciplinary in nature\, incorporating live music\, theater\, and poetry. \nMany know McKevin for his work as a photographer and graphic designer. Since 1994\, he has been involved with the Museum designing our Main Gallery exhibits and promotional materials. \nIt’s McKevin’s turn to share his creative practice with us\, which spans over four decades. This exhibit features a select group of his light sculptures\, neon works\, metal lamps\, retro robots and recent excursions in converting 2D into 3D animation. \nMcKevin reminds us to harness our own creativity for self-expression and building a vital sense of community. With McKevin at hand\, you will see the light.  \n🗓️ Sunday\, September 27th\n⏰ 2PM-5PM\n📍 Hoboken Historical Museum\n🎟️ Free admission\n💡 Special thanks to the Hudson County Office of Cultural & Heritage Affairs/Tourism Development for supporting this exhibit.

SUMMARY:Too Good to Get Married: The Life and Photographs of Miss Alice Austen
DESCRIPTION:A Free Author Lecture with Bonnie Yochelson \nDate: Sunday\, October 4\, 2026\nTime: 4pm\nLocation: Hoboken Historical Museum\, 1301 Hudson Street\nAdmission: Free \nJoin the Hoboken Historical Museum for a free lecture with art historian and curator Bonnie Yochelson\, author of Too Good to Get Married: The Life and Photographs of Miss Alice Austen. Presented in connection with the Museum’s current Main Gallery exhibition\, What They Saw: Hoboken’s Amateur Photography Clubs 1889–1934\, this program explores the life and work of Alice Austen\, one of the most distinctive photographers of her generation and a pioneering LGBTQ+ icon. \nThe Museum’s exhibition introduces visitors to Hoboken’s early “camera fiends\,” amateur photographers who carried heavy tripods and glass negatives through the city to document its waterfront\, streets\, taverns\, architecture\, disasters\, and everyday life. Drawn from the collections of the Hoboken Historical Museum and Hoboken Public Library\, their photographs preserve a city undergoing tremendous change. \nWorking during this same transformative era\, Alice Austen used photography to record both the social world around her and the rapidly changing streets of New York. Her images ranged from carefully composed scenes of friends and family to photographs of working people and public life. She was also an accomplished amateur photographer at a time when cameras were becoming more accessible\, photography clubs were gaining popularity\, and women were beginning to claim greater independence behind the lens. \nDuring the lecture\, Yochelson will discuss Austen’s unconventional life\, her development as a photographer\, and the ways her images challenged expectations surrounding gender\, class\, work\, and women’s lives at the turn of the twentieth century. She will also share insights from her research for Too Good to Get Married\, the first major biography of Austen published in nearly fifty years. \nVisitors will also discover Alice Austen’s connection to Hoboken. In 1897\, she traveled from Staten Island with her camera equipment to photograph the devastating factory fire that swept through the city\, capturing the same remarkable event as Hoboken photographer William Petersen. This fascinating local connection underscores the shared photographic history explored throughout What They Saw: Hoboken’s Amateur Photography Clubs\, 1889–1934\, while placing Hoboken’s amateur photographers within the broader story of photography in the New York metropolitan region. A question-and-answer session will follow the presentation. \nAbout the Speaker \nBonnie Yochelson is an art historian and curator specializing in photography and the photographic history of New York City. Formerly Curator of Prints and Photographs at the Museum of the City of New York\, she has organized exhibitions and published books on photographers including Jacob Riis\, Alfred Stieglitz\, and Berenice Abbott. She taught in the MFA Photography\, Video and Related Media Department at the School of Visual Arts for thirty years. \nAdmission is free. Register here!

SUMMARY:Hoboken's Elysian Fields: The Rise and Demise of a Riverside Paradise with Irwin Chusid
DESCRIPTION:Hoboken’s Elysian Fields: The Rise and Demise of a Riverside Paradise \nOctober 25th 4pm at the Hoboken Historical Museum \nJournalist and historian Irwin Chusid\, an authority on early baseball\, will explore the history of Hoboken’s vanished 19th century waterfront pleasure garden\, the Elysian Fields. This iconic site is considered one of the birthplaces of baseball\, hosting some of the earliest recorded games. But it was also a vortex of entertainment\, recreation\, and public debauchery. Disneyland\, Central Park\, and Coney Island are all descended from the Elysian Fields. Chusid\, who has lectured on the topic at the National Baseball Hall of Fame\, will share his extensive research and insights into how Hoboken’s early growth helped shape America’s pastime\, and how the town evolved from an 18th century mosquito-infested swamp. \nIrwin Chusid is a journalist\, music historian\, record producer\, radio personality\, and self-described “landmark preservationist.” He oversees the music estates of Sun Ra and Raymond Scott. Since 1975 he has been a DJ on free-form radio station WFMU in Jersey City\, and has lived in Hoboken for 34 years. \nRegister here!
