Ellis Island Immigration Museum
Ellis Island, a small port in new York harbor, was the official
immigration checkpoint from 1892-1954. However, speedy acceptance often
depended more on an immigrant's social status than on their health.
No longer used in this capacity, it now houses the museum and has been
given park status.
