Program Description

Event Details

Please join us in the Kennedy Library Meeting Room for a 60-minute interactive virtual visit to the Tenement Museum. The tour will be led by a live Tenement Museum Educator and attendees will view the presentation on our big screen! We will be exploring the food traditions and practices that 19th-century immigrants brought with them from their home countries. There will be time for the audience to share their own personal food stories at the end of the program.
