In the Footsteps of Bridget Murphy

Sunday, November 15, 2026 at 3:00 PM · Merchant's House Museum

“In the Footsteps of Bridget Murphy: The Life of an Irish Servant” is a back-stairs house tour at the Merchant's House Museum. It incorporates recent research on the lives of Irish immigrants and focuses on the Irish women who worked in domestic service in 19th-century New York, including the Tredwells' servants. The route visits four floors of period rooms, from the ground-floor kitchen to the fourth-floor servants' quarters, showing what daily life was like for the household's Irish servants.
