Step back in time…. and make connections between past and present.

The tenement museum tells the story of the immigration boom of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when the Lower East Side was considered the “Gateway to America.” This museum is the first-ever National Trust for Historic Preservation site that was not the home of someone rich or famous. It’s something quite different: a five-story tenement that 10,000 people from 25 countries called home between 1863 and 1935—people who had come to the United States looking for the American dream.

The museum itself is only accessible by guided tours.

These tickets are good to any of the 5 building and 3 neighborhood tours.
