Join us on St. Patrick’s Day as Tenement Museum educators take you into the apartment of the Moore family. The Irish American Moore family lived in 97 Orchard Street in the 1860s, and their story explores how they balanced work, belonging, and identity in a changing city.
Through this private Zoom tour, you'll see video, images, and primary sources to build the world of the Moore family. There will be opportunities to interact and ask questions through chat, with a Q&A and discussion featuring Elizabeth Stack, Ph.D.
Elizabeth is the executive director of the Irish American Heritage Museum in Albany. She joined the museum from Fordham University, where she taught Irish and Irish American History and was an associate director of the Institute of Irish Studies. She completed her Ph.D. at Fordham, writing about Irish and German immigrants in New York at the turn of the 20th century as they grappled with the immigration restriction movements of that time. She has a master’s degree in Anglo-Irish relations in the 20th century from University College Dublin in Ireland and was a high school teacher in Ireland and the United Arab Emirates before moving to America in 2009.
The cost of this event is $20 per person. Space is limited for this unique experience.
