Visiting the Ellis Island Museum is undoubtedly one of the highlights of a trip to New York. Stroll in the museum's park, admire the famous Wall of Honor (mentioning the names of the immigrants who passed through here over the years ...), and see the New York skyline and the beautiful view of Hudson Bay. This park offers a haven of greenery in the city that never sleeps!
This island was used to quarantine immigrants who came to the US. It is close to the Statue of Liberty. I found it to be interesting because it is such a popular film reference and important part of U.S. history. There are shocking photos, fun facts, historical objects, and curious places, but I think the historic charm of this place has failed. I was struck that they placed an escalator in the building. I think it could be better tended to, but it is a must in this city, especially considering its proximity to the Statue of Liberty.
