Reviews
"I attended the Springsteen: His Hometown exhibit and I was rather disappointed! There wasn’t a lot of real memorabilia and I felt it was more like a Freehold exhibit! There was more about his family than him. I understand it was “his hometown” but it seemed like they needed to add his name to it so people would come in to hear and see about Freehold! Not worth the money for it, thank goodness I’m part of NARM and it was on the list!"
"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."
"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!!"
"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."
