The Tenement Museum in New York City offers a unique and enlightening experience into the lives of immigrants, migrants, and refugees who lived in the city between the 1860s and the 1980s. Through historically recreated homes, visitors and K-12 students can explore the stories of diverse families with roots from around the world, housed in two historic tenements.
The museum's interactive guided tours provide insights into the challenges faced by these families, highlighting their resilience in the face of wars, economic hardships, and cultural shifts. By sharing these personal narratives, the museum aims to bridge the gap between past and present, fostering a deeper understanding of American history and a more inclusive society.
