Ellis Island

The Great Hall on Ellis Island is seen Sept. 2, 2007. From 1892 to 1954, over twelve million immigrants entered the United States through the portal of Ellis Island, a small island in New York Harbor. The main building was restored after 30 years of abandonment and opened as a museum on September 10, 1990.
