Ellis Island is a symbol of America’s immigrant heritage. From 1892 to 1954, this immigrant depot processed the greatest tide of incoming humanity in the nation’s history. Nearly twelve million landed here in their search of freedom of speech and religion, and for economic pportunity. Situated in the New York Harbor, the Ellis Island Immigration Museum is accessible via the Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island Ferry from Battery Park in lower Manhattan, New York or Liberty State Park, Jersey City, New Jersey.
