The Center of Monmouth County
Bruce Springsteen, Freehold’s most famous native son, lived here before he became “The Boss.” In
fact, Freehold, the county seat, is the place Bruce sings about in “My Hometown” on the album Born
in the U.S.A. This walkable town is located in the center of Monmouth County, so it is a convenient
anchor for your trip, and you may be surprised by how much there is for visitors to enjoy. The recently
renovated Radisson Hotel of Freehold caters to vacationing families with onsite dining, fitness center
and outdoor pool. Its ballroom is a popular wedding venue. Downtown Freehold offers numerous
international culinary voyages as well as distinctive American fare and an historic diner—and many
restaurants offer sidewalk tables for people-watching. The tiny Center Players Theater and Monmouth
County Historical Society Museum are downtown, and the Jewish Heritage Museum of Monmouth
County is just a few miles away.
