The Tenement Museum celebrates the enduring stories that define and strengthen what it means to be American. This museum share stories of the immigrant and migrant experience through guided tours of their two tenement buildings on Orchard Street and the surrounding neighborhood on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Visitors can take building tours of the recreated homes of our former residents between the 1860s and the 1980s as well as walking tours of the neighborhood they lived in. It is an amazing museum for those interested in learning more about NYC past through the immigrants stories.
