CRS Outings: Tour the Henry Street Settlement House
Friday, August 7 • 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
This event is for CRS members only. Learn more about membership at CRS here.
Our celebrations of America’s 250th continue with a visit to the Henry Street Settlement, founded as the Nurses’ Settlement in 1893 by progressive reformer and nurse Lillian Wald.
“The House on Henry Street” exhibit explores themes of social activism, urban poverty, and public health from the organization’s founding in 1893 to the present. Visitors will learn about the history of the Settlement, known for its pioneering work in social service, health care, and the arts.
Featuring voices and images from the Lower East Side, the exhibit illustrates waves of immigration to New York and the challenges newcomers faced amid rapid industrialization and urban crowding.
CRS Outings is made possible by generous support from Marcia and David Lavipour, and Maxine Schweitzer.
No refunds will be issued within 14 days of the event start date. All requests must be made in writing to crs@crsnyc.org.
