Visit our historic 97 Orchard Street tenement and the recreated 1910s apartment of an Eastern European Jewish family earning a living in the garment trade.
Like the majority of immigrants at the time, the Rogarshevskys faced many challenges – with the added difficulties of raising six children in a three-room NYC tenement. Step into their home and experience what daily life was like for an immigrant family in 1911 – balancing work, family, community, and an evolving cultural identity.
