Ellis Island served as America's immigration depot from 1892 to 1954. Nearly 17 million people passed through its gates. After $156 million of restoration, it is now a national museum.
The Ellis Island Immigration Museum offers exhibits and programs about the history of Ellis Island and the immigration process. Immigrants were processed in the "Main Building" at Ellis Island. Today, the Main Building is a three floor museum, containing a variety of self-guided permanent exhibits. Treasures From Home contains a display of personal objects and stories of arriving immigrants between 1892 and 1954. The Peopling of America offers a look at immigration trends using statistics, time lines and graphs.
