Ellis Island, Immigration museum in New York Harbor, United States
Ellis Island contains a large immigration complex with exhibits spanning three floors that document the arrival experiences of millions of people to America.
Between 1892 and 1954, this federal immigration station processed over 12 million individuals seeking entry into the United States through New York Harbor.
The National Immigration Museum presents arrival records, passenger manifests, and personal artifacts that tell the stories of American immigration generations.
Visitors reach Ellis Island via authorized ferry services departing from Battery Park in Manhattan or Liberty State Park in New Jersey.
The Ellis Island territory spans two states following a 1998 Supreme Court decision, with the main building in New York and most grounds in New Jersey.
