Virtual Tenement Visit: Meet Bridget

Travel back to 1868, just a few years after 97 Orchard Street first opened, and meet Bridget Moore in her family’s brand-new apartment!

Join us on March 12th for this special virtual program and learn from an actress portraying Bridget Moore, an Irish immigrant who lived in our historic tenement in the 1860s. We’ll talk to Bridget about how she stays connected to her Irish heritage while she creates a home for her family in a mostly German building and draw connections between the Moore family and immigrant families today. Throughout this special costumed interpreter program, participants will have a chance to ask Bridget their own questions.
