Ellis Island National Museum of Immigration
History Museum · New York, New York
The federal immigration station that processed roughly twelve million arrivals between 1892 and 1954, restored and opened as a museum in 1990 in the original Main Building. Around forty percent of Americans have an ancestor who came through this room. The rest of the island — a thirty-building hospital complex where the sick were held — stands abandoned and is only enterable on a separate hard-hat tour.
