Wondering what immigrants experienced on Ellis Island? A visit to Ellis Island could be more than a surprise; a pair of shoes belonging to a visitor’s relative might even be recovered. Visitors to Ellis Island can trace their family’s genealogy and first arrival experience by boarding on a ferry from Battery Park City, Manhattan.
Ellis Island is a partner of the National Park Service and the Statue of Liberty monument.
