Starting today, Ellis Island's historic south side will open to the public. Artist JR has created an art installation throughout the abandoned buildings there, titled "Unframed—Ellis Island". 10/1.

Opened in 1892, Ellis Island served as a federal immigration station for more than 60 years until it closed in 1954. Millions of newly arrived immigrants passed through the station during that time.

Fue la puerta de entrada a Estados Unidos para más de 12 millones de inmigrantes. La esencia de E.E.U.U. es multicultural y apreciarla en el lugar donde todo comenzó es una experiencia imprescindible.

While the island served a very important role in terms of immigration, it is also architecturally unique. Be sure to ask a park ranger for notes on construction and engineering!

Try to get here early; pack a bag and make a day of it, because there is a lot to do.

Search your family roots at the museum, and bring along a picnic – the island that welcomed millions of immigrants is great for a history lesson and a little R&R.Powered by ParentsConnect.com
