Lower East Side Tenement Museum Sweatshop Workers Touch Tour
October 19, 2015 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Free
Visitors will participate in an orientation session using tactile models of our historic tenement as well as architectural features before going on a Sweatshop Workers tour. Visitors will pay a visit to the Levine family’s garment workshop OR the Rogarshevskys’ Sabbath table at the turn of the 20th century, when the Lower East Side was the most densely populated place in the world. Explore how immigrants balanced work, family and religion at a time of great change. The tour will include touch objects, braille materials, and verbal description.
The tour will be an hour and a half long, followed by a reception featuring local Lower East Side foods.
