About this event

August 25, 4:00 pm. “New Lives in a New Country: Lower East Side Tenement Museum” will be introduced to us by its president Morris Vogel. A National Trust Historic Site, the museum is actually two restored tenement buildings on Orchard Street, which contained homes for over 15,000 immigrants from more than 20 nations between 1863 and the turn of the 21st century. Part of Vogel’s presentation will portray stories of how immigrants weathered hard times and built new lives through their homes and businesses, in the process reaching for the American dream. The museum, located in America’s iconic immigrant neighborhood, forges powerful emotions.

Ventfort Hall has a strict no-refund policy and tickets are nontransferable. Please ensure you have a strong internet connection and access to Zoom before purchasing tickets.

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places and designated by the Massachusetts Cultural Council as an important partner of the Lenox Cultural District, one of the five such Berkshire County districts, Ventfort Hall Mansion and Gilded Age Museum was built in 1893 for George and Sarah Morgan, the sister of legendary financier J. Pierpont Morgan. Tours of the historic mansion are offered daily, as well as Tea & Talks, such exhibitions as the Bellefontaine Collection, concerts, theater and other programs. This elegant Jacobean-Revival Berkshire “cottage” is open to the public year-round and is available for private rental. Ventfort Hall, also an Official Project of Save America’s Treasures program sponsored by The White House, has undergone substantial restoration, which continues.
