Join us for an exploration of the research, preservation, and restoration work that goes into every Tenement Museum tour. Learn about Italian immigrants Adolfo and Rosaria Baldizzi, and their American-born children Johnny and Josephine as they navigated tenement life during the Great Depression. Visit the Baldizzi’s recreated tenement home, discover how we learned about the family, and get a special look at the unique process of reconstructing their 1933 apartment and the discoveries and surprises made along the way.
As part of the 97 Orchard Street preservation project, the Baldizzi family apartment exhibit has been temporarily moved to our tenement at 103 Orchard Street. Learn more about our second historic building.
