American Labor Museum - Botto House National Landmark
Source

The Pietro and Maria Botto House, located at 83 Norwood Street, Haledon in Passaic County, New Jersey, is a significant historical site. It was here that leaders of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) union addressed the 25,000 workers involved in the Paterson Silk Strike of 1913. This event was a pivotal moment in the history of labor rights in the United States.

The American Labor Museum

The Pietro and Maria Botto House opened to the public as the American Labor Museum in 1983. This non-profit educational institution is dedicated to educating the public about the history and contemporary issues of workers, the workplace, and organized labor, with a special focus on the ethnicity of working people. The museum features changing exhibits, restored period rooms, and Old World Gardens that reflect the lifestyle of an early 1900s immigrant family. Additionally, it offers a free lending library, lectures, poetry readings, teachers' workshops, and other educational programs.
