Campers visit Tenement Museum

After sitting abandoned for over 50 years, the building at 97 Orchard Street was found in 1989 by Ruth Abram and Anita Jacobson who wanted to found a museum that honored America 's immigrants.  We got to visit the 1878 home of the Jewish-German Gumpertz family and the 1939 home of the Italian-Christian Baldizzis.
