Lower East Side Tenement Museum
Beginning in the 1840s, millions of immigrants poured into New York City, seeking a new and better life for themselves and their families. Once home to 7,000 of these intrepid pioneers between 1863 and 1935, the museum now provides a unique look into the lives of its former residents and the history of New York’s Lower East Side. Owned and operated by the Lower East Side Tenement Museum.
