Guest living historian Daniel Sieh brings to life a shop in 18th-century Guang Dong, China, and families take on the role of agents and discover the challenges of communicating across language barriers and over long distances.

New-York Historical’s interpreters portray she-merchants, pioneering women who worked in business and trade in 18th-century New York.
