Most of us use maps to learn how to get to where we need to go, but maps can also tell us a lot about where we have been and how we arrived at our destination. Maps can convey as much about a region as any unearthed artifact. For instance, an 1860 map of Hoboken shows boardwalks crisscrossing the undeveloped “meadows” in the western half of the city, where roads still called by their traditional names, Paterson Plank and Hackensack Plank, now run.

Maps are a form of universal communication, provid-ing information not just about where people lived, but how they lived. In an exhibit titled Mapping the Territory: Hudson County in Maps, 1840 – 2013, the Hoboken Histori-cal Museum uses maps to examine the development of the County from a group of small, agricultural townships to one of the most densely populated, as well as industrialized, counties in the state. The exhibit opens Sunday, Jan. 27, with a free public reception from 2 – 5 p.m.

The exhibit features maps of all varieties: topographical, infrastructure, transportation, sea level and birds-eye views, from both the Museum’s own collections and borrowed from local libraries and historical organizations, including the Hudson County Archives in the Jersey City Public Library, along with digital versions. These maps show how the region evolved geographically from forests, marshes and tower-ing granite cliffs populated by Native Americans; to farms, settlements and villages built and inhabited by the Dutch,

Greetings from the New Board PresidentAs I start my tenure as president

of the board of directors at the Hoboken Historical Museum, I realize that I have been given an incredible opportunity to continue to develop the presence of the Museum. Under the leadership of Carol Losos, the museum grew by leaps and bounds. The board sincerely thanks Carol for her remarkable work as board president these past four years.

The board is changing, with new members who will add a wealth of different talents to expand the Museum’s reach into the community. As a community, Hoboken is filled with resilience and dedication to keeping history alive. My promise is to bring unbounded energy and creativity to continue the Museum’s current and future projects. My vision going forward is to work with all New Jersey schools for more student attendance at museum exhibits. This will expand our Museum’s exposure and create a solid base for it to grow in recognition, as sister museums in Montclair and Newark have.

The Hoboken Historical Museum continues a long tradition of creating exhibits that educate, enlighten, and inspire by infusing 21st century technology that enhances this city’s rich history. This technology will aid in our ability to entice folks from New Jersey and surrounding areas into visiting the Museum.

We hope that all of you who are reading this newsletter find a way to become even more involved in the events and exhibits that the Museum produces. We look forward to a successful New Year for all.

Sincerely,Valerie Hufnagel

followed by the British and the newly independent Ameri-cans; and ultimately into the diverse, vibrant communities we live in today.

At the time of Hudson County’s incorporation in 1840, it was primarily a sleepy agricultural area, thickly forested, with only a few settlements scattered around. The popula-tion totaled just over 9,000. In addition to farming, residents made their living from the bounty of the rivers and, in the case of enterprising Col. John Stevens, from developing his estate in Hoboken as a popular resort for New Yorkers, where clubs competed in cricket, boating and the loosely organized game of base ball, among other pursuits. Col. Stevens and his sons hastened the increasing industrializa-tion of the area with their experiments and investments in railroads and steam-powered ferry services.

Following the Civil War, the County experienced a growth spurt. Each decade’s census from 1840 – 1870 would show that its population had more than doubled. Its origi-nal boundaries encompassed 46 square miles, which would grow by 75% before reaching present-day definitions in 1925. Its original borders stretched from the Hudson River on the

east to the Passaic River on the west, down to the southern end of Constable Hook/Bergen Point to the northern border with Bergen County.

Along the way, towns and cities within its borders would merge and separate as citizens voted to incorporate or join other jurisdictions. Jersey City, already the largest and most commercial settlement, grew by absorbing neighboring com-munities and villages, such as Van Vorst Township, Bergen City, Hudson City and Greenville Township.

Each of the current 12 cities, towns and townships will be represented by maps in the exhibit, along with a brief background on the communities. A new computerized whiteboard will allow visitors to interact with digital ver-sions of the maps on display, as well as view other maps and sketches too numerous to physically exhibit. Representa-tives from each of the municipalities will be invited to give talks about what makes their communities special, from the architecture, food, and cultural activities, to historic points of interest.

The schedule of talks will be announced by email and on the Museum website. (See p. 19 for details of the first lecture.)

The exhibit, which runs through Sunday, June 30, is made possible through funding from the the Hudson County Division of Cultural and Heritage Affairs/Tourism Develop-ment, Thomas A. DeGise, County Executive, and the Board of Chosen Freeholders. Additional support for this exhibit and programming comes from Applied Companies, John Wiley & Sons, and the Rockefeller Development Group.

For Tom Yezerski, all roads seemed to lead to the Mead-owlands. Literally.

As a recent transplant to New Jersey from Allentown, Pa., Yezerski moved to Rutherford 14 years ago seeking a reasonably affordable community close enough to New York City for him to pursue his dream of becoming an established children’s book artist and author. As so many newcomers discover, the dizzying array of the area’s highway signage conspired to lead him astray, and more often than not, he found himself driving into this vast wilderness with the reputation as the source of what made New Jersey the butt of many jokes in Pennsylvania.

A nature-lover, Yezerski found his curiosity piqued, so he did some research into the history of the Meadowlands and visited the nature center at the heart of it, and soon hatched a project that became his fourth work as a writer and artist of children’s books, Meadowlands, A Wetlands Survival Story, published in 2011 by Farrar Straus Giroux. The Museum is pleased to present an exhibit of the original watercolor and ink illustrations that comprise the book, with an opening reception on Sunday, Jan. 27, from 2 – 5 p.m. The show will be on view in the Upper Gallery until March 10, and the artist will give a talk about creating the book and

getting it published on Sunday, Feb. 10, at 4 p.m.Ten years in the making, the book plunged Yezerski into

research not only about the history of the place, but also the biodiversity of the species that once teemed in the tidal marshlands and are now returning, after a concerted effort by federal, state, and local authorities and environmental activist groups. His book details in images and text—simple enough for elementary school readers but complex enough to suit the enormous scale—the fascinating story of the return to health of this natural treasure.

Yezerski wrote Meadowlands and sketched the draw-ings while living in Rutherford, but painted the final art after moving to Hoboken. He currently lives in Hoboken on Garden Street, with his wife, and says they both enjoy hiking and canoeing through “the Meadows.”

Yezerski’s first work as a professional artist came in creating prints for children’s clothing. Eager to return to illustration, he started writing and illustrating his own book, about his Polish and Irish immigrant grandparents, a Romeo-and-Juliet love story set in the coal-mining country of eastern Pennsylvania. That story became his first pub-lished book, Together in Pinecone Patch, in 1998. Subsequent picture books Queen of the World and A Full Hand also depict family members as comic or historic characters. He has also illustrated 10 other books for other authors. The New York Times listed Meadowlands in its Notable Chil-dren’s Books of 2011, and the New York Public Library listed it among its Best Non-Fiction Books of 2011. It earned an inaugural Cook Prize Honor from Bankstreet College.

Yezerski took his first art lessons while in the third grade, riding his bike to an artist’s studio every Saturday morning to copy greeting cards in chalk pastel. During high school, he studied drawing and color theory at The Barn-stone Studios, in Coplay, Pa. Yezerski earned his B.F.A. in Illustration in 1991, at Syracuse University.

This exhibition was made possible by a Block Grant from the State/County Partnership program for the Arts admin-istered by the Hudson County Division of Cultural and Heritage Affairs/Tourism Development, Thomas A. DeGise, County Executive, and the Board of Chosen Freeholders.

The Hoboken Historical Museum relies on a small army of volunteers, who help manage our fundraising events, assist with administrative tasks and keep the Fire Department Museum open on weekends. We would like to thank all the volunteers who have donated their time and talents through-out the year, and welcome new volunteers to give it a try.

We extend a very special invitation to all past and potential volunteers to join us for the Annual Volunteer Appreciation Celebration at the opening reception, Sunday, Jan. 27, from 2 to 5 p.m. at the Museum. It’s a great way to get to know more people in the community, while helping sustain an important local institution.

Superstorm Sandy was a historic event in Hoboken, and the Hoboken Historical Museum is gathering stories from

residents and visitors to document the storm’s immediate and ongoing impact on our community. Everyone’s story, no matter how great or small the storm’s impact, is a valu-able part of our history. No need to be an expert storyteller. Digital images and video are welcome.

We are inviting people to reach out to us to record their stories through a wide range of options.

• Add your story to our blog, at hobokenmuseum.org/blog, by posting in the comments area.

• Call 201-537-6778, enter 10#, and follow the instructions to record a brief recollection of two to four minutes.

• Send us an email with your story and digital images to SandyStories@hobokenmuseum.org.

• You may also mail us your written stories and storm-related photographs to PO Box 3296, Hoboken, NJ 07030, or drop them off at the Museum, 1301 Hudson St.

Selected stories may be added to the Museum’s collec-tions and used in our programs and presentations.

The Museum is proud once again to serve as one of the first host venues for New Jersey’s own Annual Black Maria Film and Video Festival, an international competition and award tour featuring cutting-edge works from

independent film and video makers. Now in its 32nd year, the festival will bring a handful of works to the Museum on Monday, Feb. 4, at 7 p.m. Admission is $5, and seating is limited, so please call 201-656-2240 to reserve your place.

Following a rigorous jurying process, the festival selects works from the annual collection of 40 – 60 award-winning films and sends them out on a national tour each Febru-ary. The event runs about 90 minutes, and is tailored to the host institution by a festival curator, who introduces the screenings and facilitates audience discussion. The tour will visit 65 or more diverse institutions in more than 20 states. The Black Maria festival is recognized by The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences as a qualifying festival for the short films (documentary, animation, and live action)

category and has earned several state awards. The festival is named for Thomas Edison’s Black Maria,

the world’s first motion-picture studio, built in 1893 in West Orange, N.J., which had a hinged roof and rotated on a circular wooden track to follow the sun and illuminate the stage. For more information, visit www.blackmariafilm-festival.org.

Fans of the movie On the Waterfront, which was filmed almost entirely on location in Hoboken some 60 years ago, won’t want to miss a special event at the Museum: a launch party for a new DVD/Blu-Ray boxed set with special features. The Criterion Collection is releasing a newly re-stored version of the movie packed with new extras, such as interviews with Hollywood legends, film critics and scholars, and people involved in the filming, including local boy Tom Hanley. Another interview features Fordham University professor Dr. James Fisher, author of the book On the Irish Waterfront, which examines the cultural context of the wa-terfront that contributed to the dramatic tension in the film.

Both Hanley and Dr. Fisher will be present at the release party at the Museum on Sunday afternoon, Feb. 24, at 4 p.m., and the new special features will be screened as part of the event. Copies of the boxed set in both formats will be avail-able for sale.

Hanley played the young kid, Tommy Collins, who idolizes Marlon Brando’s boxer-turned-longshoreman Terry Malloy until he agrees to testify for the waterfront corrup-tion commission. Early in the film, he wears the insignia of Malloy’s old gang and learns how to tend homing pigeons from him, but when he learns of his hero’s betrayal of the long-standing code against squealing, his line, “a pigeon for a pigeon,” stings Malloy. Hanley himself grew up to become a longshoreman in real life, rising in the union ranks to the position of shop steward.

The movie, directed by Elia Kazan and written by Budd Schulberg, swept eight Oscars in 1954, including best picture, director, actor, supporting actress, cinematography and screenplay. The story was inspired by journalistic accounts of the waterfront commission investigating corruption in the unions that controlled the entire New York port system.

Mac Hartshorn is a fine art photographer based in Hoboken, New Jersey. Starting with fashion photography about 30 years ago, he moved into the realm of family portraiture and began creating fine art. He calls his current collection of artwork an opportunity to “celebrate the glory of childhood.” These images are a testament to the many emotions of every child’s day and are easy for every person—regardless of age—to connect with, he says.

Starting Sunday, March 17 with a free reception from 2 – 5 p.m., the Museum’s Upper Gallery will host an
