The Tenement Museum tells the story of American immigration. It has become one of New York City’s preeminent cultural and educational institutions, welcoming more than 238,000 visitors in 2016. Its two historic tenements on Orchard Street were home to an estimated 15,000 people from more than 20 nations between 1863 and 2000. Educators guide visitors and help them understand how immigrants weathered hard times and built new lives.
