Member Virtual Program: Baldizzi Family Holiday

Tenement Museum members are invited to celebrate the holidays with the Baldizzi family! Visit the 1930s home of Adolpho and Rosaria Baldizzi, immigrants from Sicily who lived at 97 Orchard Street with their children, Josephine and Johnny. We’ll explore their daily lives and experiences as immigrants living through the Great Depression, and consider how they would have observed winter holidays. What traditions did they maintain in New York and how did they adapt their celebrations during economic hard times? We invite you to draw connections from their family to yours.
