Hoboken House Tour Tickets On Sale

On Sunday, Oct. 26, the public has a chance to visit ten artistically significant Hoboken residences and a historic collection of Stevens family artifacts in the annual Hoboken House Tour, a fundraiser for the Hoboken Historical Museum.

The tour offers a signature mix of elegant Victorian row houses, contemporary condos, and a few historic buildings, including a grand residence on the campus of Stevens Institute of Technology, and a chance to visit the Mary Stuart Stevens Baird room in the Samuel C. Williams Library on campus.

Homes will be open for tours from opening at 10 a.m. and closing at 4 p.m. Tour goers may pick up a House Tour booklet and start the tour from either of two locations:

• The Hoboken Historical Museum, 1301 Hudson Street
• Hoboken Fire Department Museum, 213 Bloomfield Street

Homes may be visited in any order, and a map is included in the booklet. Tickets are $30 in advance, $40 the day of the tour (Museum members pay $30).
