Ellis Island was the gateway through which more than 12 million immigrants passed between 1892 and 1954 in their search for freedom of speech and religion, and for economic opportunity in the United States.
Because of its unique historical importance, it was declared part of the Statue of Liberty National Monument in 1965. The museum (previously the main processing building) is a national monument telling the stories/experiences of the immigrants as they passed through processing and where they would have settled in the United States.
