To begin our adolescent route we will visit the Lower East Side Tenement Museum. They are buildings built in 1863, which preserve belongings and honor the efforts of immigrants, who through hardships forged the American dream by dedicating themselves to making clothes. Recently in October 2008, First Lady Laura Bush awarded the Tenement the National Medal for its commitment to public service and human content. Without a doubt, a museum that we cannot miss.
