Tenement Museum

The Lower East Side Tenement Museum is a museum and National Historic Site that tells the story of immigration in America. The museum is located in two historic tenement buildings, which were home to over 15,000 immigrants from more than 20 nations between 1863 and the turn of the 21st century. Visitors can take guided tours of recreated homes and businesses, exploring the lives of immigrants who lived in the tenements between 1869 and 1935. The museum also offers exhibits, collections, and programs that promote tolerance and historical perspective on the immigrant experience. The museum is a great place for families to learn about the history of immigration in America and its impact on the country's identity
