(HOBOKEN, NJ) -- Join the Hoboken Historical Museum online on Thursday October 13 at 7:00pm for a very special Hoboken Talks as born 'n raised brothers from other mothers Stu Chirichella and Mike Turner walk and talk LIVE. These "Hoboken Whisperers" (don't ask - we promise they'll tell you!!) have stories to tell about every street corner. Who will they bump into? Anything can happen! Mama Johnson Field, anyone?
Stu has worked at City Hall for 17 years and has lived in only 3 homes within a downtown “triangle.” He's the “best actor you’ve never heard of” and was recently seen in the Netflix comedy-drama “The Good Cop.” He’s been clean and sober for 30 years and works to help others at the Guardian IOP rehab facility.
Mike Turner is a (retired) Hoboken Fire Department Battalion Chief. He competed as the oldest “Survivor” contestant in season 42, stranded with 17 other castaways in the beautiful islands of Fiji, and came in second place!
Hoboken Historical Museum live events can be found on Facebook, and YouTube. Past episodes may be replayed any time on YouTube. Like, Subscribe, and “Ring That Bell” to receive notifications of all their live-streamed video events.

The Hoboken Historical Museum (est. 1986) collects and displays artifacts in themed exhibitions on Hoboken history and offers educational programs, lectures, tours and hosts films and plays. We are a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization.
Recent exhibits have included a focus on Hoboken’s relationship with the Hudson River and its role as a sweets producer. Other exhibits included shipping history, an anniversary of the movie “On the Waterfront,” the city’s contributions to the world of music, and its struggle and revival through the 1970s. Our upper gallery space features six local artists’ work per year.
They are open six days a week in a 2,000-square-foot space in one of the oldest buildings on Hoboken’s waterfront, the former Bethlehem Steel machine shop, now known as the Shipyard.
The museum also publish books and walking-tour maps, as well as a series of oral history chapbooks documenting the diverse communities of Hoboken’s recent past. Each exhibit offers a tailored curriculum for local schools and groups of youngsters.
