Ellis Island

posted by SuzyQ on 28 July 2009 at 05:57

Visiting Ellis Island is a humbling experience, as this is a museum which recreates the exact portal through which most immigrants came to the United States in the late 1800s to mid-1900s. Ellis Island has been beautifully restored and provides moving exhibits about the journey that Europeans took to enter the United States and make their way in the new land. This is a somber museum that provides thoughtful discussion to anyone who has ancestors who came to the United States through this awe-inspiring building. A highly recommended visit, which also provides great views of New York City, so you get more bang for your buck.

Ellis Island

posted by awesme on 3 July 2009 at 16:12

Located in New York Harbor, Ellis Island is the debarcation point where over 12 million immigrants came into our country. From 1892 until 1954, travellers were screened here, provided appropriate medical interventions, and admitted to their new lives in the United States. Now the visitor center and museum is part of the Statue of Liberty Monument as run by the National Park Service. A wall of honor is maintained at the Island, and free gealogical searching is available in person or on line. whether or not one's own ancestors came through ellis Island -- my own idid -- this is a pwerful place to visit to undertand -- not only the history of America, but the meaning of America. Note: You must take the ferry to the island, and can visit the Statue of Liberty as part of your tour, or not, as you so choose.
