Those who cannot remember the past…

  • Posted by Andy Doherty on May 22, 2024 at 7:40 pm

    In 1905’s “The Life Of Reason”, George Santayana said “those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it”. If you want to know what the future may hold, or how to learn from mistakes, knowing history is a solid step to take. Right here in the heart of the Big Apple and on the Lower East Side, you can take a trip into the past at the Tenement Museum. Located at 97 Orchard Street, you can tour an abandoned tenement showing you exactly how your ancestors may have lived in the 1860’s. The museum website has a virtual tour and essentially takes you can into time: https://www.tenement.org

    Tickets for tours can be purchased here https://www.tenement.org/tours/?tour_date=2024-05-23, and I highly recommend it, especially for any New York City residents.
