Description
he Statue of Liberty rises up from New York Harbor. It welcomed the immigrants who once entered through nearby Ellis Island. Visit Lady Liberty and learn the stories of those who passed through on this fantastic tour. Liberty Island is home to a beautiful park, an innovative museum, and America’s most iconic symbol of promise and possibility. As you explore the grounds, view Lady Liberty from different angles, noting her design details and how her appearance changes with the light. Beautifully restored to its peak operating period, the main building at Ellis Island allows you to step into travelers’ shoes for a sense of the immigrant journey. At the Ellis Island National Immigration Museum, voyages come to life through a stunning collection of artifacts. Exhibits chronicle America’s immigration history from the 1500s through to today.
