1 AM Tenement Review

I spent the day in the city attending a tour at the Tenement Museum. It was really fascinating and I learned a lot. What it basically is are a few houses totally kept the way they were in the 18-1900s, and you go with a small group and a guide and learn about the families that lived in some of the apartments. Today I did the sweatshop tour, which basically was about the garment industry and how it affected two families who lived in the building at two different times in the sweatshop history. Anyway. You get a good feel for how life really was back then, because the rooms are set up to be period-accurate- no air conditioning or anything! I did a tour about a year ago, and they had an actress with whom we spoke for a short while. If you're in the city, go! The tickets aren't that cheap, but the experience is definitely worth it.
