Jacob A. Riis Walk
Jacob A. Riis Walk – Private Tours
US President Roosevelt called Jacob A. Riis New York’s most useful citizen.
On this tour we tell the story of the boy from Ribe who emigrated to America in 1870. You will walk through Ribe’s streets and follow Jacob A. Riis’ childhood and love story. It is a story of almost going under in New York’s worst neighbourhood, and of how hard work, the will to create a better society, and belief in oneself made the boy from Ribe into what the president called “the ideal American.”
