Tenement Museum, Orchard St, Manhattan

In the 1920's, European immigrants came to Ellis Island and made their home on Orchard Street in lower Manhattan in the tenements. Recently two women were looking for a public bathroom and stumbled onto this untouched tenement building. Touched by how the immigrants lived and inspired by this valuable piece of history, they were determined to make it into a public museum. Thus, became the birth of the Tenement Museum. Your visit will include a tour guide who will inform you of so many facts such as the poor sanitary conditions and how laws have improved our lives for the better. There is a fee for this museum but well worth the trip. Please come and see the Tenement Museum, you won't regret it.
