INAUGURAL EXHIBITION
Spanning three decades in the first half of the twentieth century, Frank Hague's tenure as mayor saw profound and lasting changes to Jersey City's physical landscape, political culture, transportation sector, and entertainment culture. As democratic norms were challenged, innovations in health care and education profoundly impacted the lives of thousands.
The HAGUE exhibition is free and open to the public, with a suggested donation of $5. We encourage you to walk-in and view the exhibition during regular hours. If you'd like to make the suggested donation of $5 in advance, please click below.
