Ellis Island is located in New York Bay and was the spot where over 12

million immigrants entered the United States from Europe and the rest of
the world. The island is part of the Statue of Liberty National Monument

and is home to a museum of immigration.

The museum tells the stories of the immigrants who came to America for
a better life and the workers who took care of immigration processing and

kept Ellis Island running. The vast museum collections display historical
artifacts from both Ellis and Liberty Islands in interactive and informative

exhibits.
