Tenement Museum

 Museums are our windows into 

lives beyond ourselves. Museums give us a glimpse of people, places and events beyond our experience. Every small city and town has a reason to have a museum: local history, people or events associated with the community or significant assets be they historic, natural, technological or personal. Find a place in town for a new museum; celebrate and support existing museums. They are a foundational element of community character.
