This remarkable little museum teaches visitors about New York City’s immigrant past. You can enjoy it in several ways.
First, you can tour 97 Orchard Street, which was constructed in the middle of the 19th century and served as home to thousands of immigrants over the years.
In addition, you can “meet” residents who lived in the building, reincarnated by modern-day actors and referred to as “interpreters” on the museum site.
Finally, there are neighborhood tours!
