Tenement Museum at 103 Orchard Street

The Tenement Museum at 103 Orchard Street preserves restored apartments within a former 19th-century Lower East Side tenement and offers guided tours that interpret the lived experiences of immigrant and migrant families from the 19th and 20th centuries. Tours focus on individual families and workers who lived in the building and use the preserved interiors to illustrate social, economic, and cultural histories of urban immigration. The museum also runs educational programs and neighborhood walking tours about Lower East Side history.
