GREETINGS FROM FREEHOLD

How Bruce Springsteen's Hometown Shaped His Life and Work

Census Bureau map of Freehold Borough, N.J.

Bruce Springsteen grew up in Freehold, the

seat of Monmouth County, New Jersey. His

experiences there inspired many of his songs.

Long after becoming a rock star, he maintained

ties to the town and to the people he met there.

Freehold's effect on him is the focus of this site,

presenting a paper written for the Glory Days

Symposium 2009 at Monmouth University.
