Ellis Island and the Immigrant Experience: Gateway to America

Located not far from the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island played a major role in American history. More than 16 million immigrants entered the United States through Ellis Island between 1892 and 1954. Ellis Island and the Immigrant Experience: Gateway to America discusses Ellis Island and what it was like to be an immigrant in America during the period in which it was open. Bolstered by extensive photographs and a chronology.
