Hawthorne Historical Society

Welcome

Welcome to the online home of the Hawthorne Historical Society. We are a community of citizens in Hawthorne, New Jersey devoted to remembering and preserving the wonderful history of our borough.

The Historical Society meets the second Monday of each month to discuss the history of Hawthorne, to plan upcoming events and activities, and to meet new friends and neighbors.

Our meetings are held at the Louis Bay 2nd Library and Community Center, located on Lafayette Ave. in Hawthorne, NJ.
All are welcome!

Our next meeting will be MOVIE NIGHT on Monday, July 13th at 7:00 p.m. at the Louis Bay 2nd Memorial Library.

We’ll be showing vintage reels of scenes from Hawthorne in the 20th Century. We hope you can make it!

Until then, we invite you to check out our Historic Image Gallery. It is full of classic images you can purchase as gifts or for yourself to enjoy. Just click on the photo and start shopping!

We welcome your ideas, your memories, your memorabilia, and your help in researching, identifying, and preserving notable historical aspects in Hawthorne – from its natural setting, to its historic architecture, to its proud heritage.

We would especially welcome your photos of historical points of interest, people and places to add to this site!
