THE MUSEUM
Our cameras trace the saga from the Old World, where it all began, to the Ellis Island Immigration Museum—our nation’s monument to its immigrant heritage and the inspiring story of the immigrant’s lives in the New World. Truly, a memorial to the common people, it is testimony to the indomitable spirit of the 12 million souls who trod its ground seeking entrance to America.

THE IMMIGRANTS
They came from every point of the compass—every race and creed. They spoke a babble of tongues and tightly clutched a dream—Freedom and America. Some came to escape poverty. Others were fleeing from political or religious persecution. Some were driven by a passion for adventure. Experience the profound human drama of ordinary people caught up in the tides of history as Ellis Island plays its roles before, during, and after the peak immigration years.

THE LEGACY
People were born here, married here, and some died here. Dreams, hopes, and disappointments transpired here. Conjured in the ruins, the halls, and the rooms are the echoes of laughter and lament. Within the multitude of people passing through was the spirit and determination that helped shape our nation. Here, within the glow of The Statue of Liberty that beckoned the immigrant into the harbor, Ellis Island was the beginning of opportunity and achievement for those in search of the American Dream.
