THE MERCHANTS HOUSE MUSEUM
Through public programs and exhibitions, restoration of its landmark building, and conservation of its original collections, the Museum educates the public about the domestic life of a wealthy merchant family and their four Irish servants, 1835-1865, when the mercantile seaport of New York City emerged as a growing metropolis.

THE TENEMENT MUSEUM
Sweatshop Workers Tour -
