Revealing the Past. Challenging the Future.

Museum will offer a touch and verbal description tour of our newest program, The Moores: An Irish Family in America. Experience the heart of the immigrant saga through the music of Irish America, then tour the restored home of the Moore family, Irish-Catholic immigrants coping with the death of a child in 1869. Compare the Moore's struggle to keep their family healthy with that of the Katz family, Russian-Jewish immigrants who left their mark on our building in the 1930s.
 
The 1.5 hour tour will begin at the Museum?s Visitor Center at 108 Orchard Street at 2:45 p.m. on Sunday, October 18th. Tickets cost $20 for adults and $15 for students and seniors. Visit the Tenement Museum?s website at www.tenement.org for more information about the tour and how to get to the Museum. Tour size is limited to 15; the Tenement Museum is not wheelchair or walker accessible.
 
To attend, purchase tickets by Wednesday, October 14th from Sarah Litvin, Education Associate for Living History and Access: Slitvin@xxxxxxxxxxxx, 212-431-0233 ext. 232.
