Ellis Island




Ellis Island, the island of immigration, was a place where immigrants stayed before the immigration office issued their visas. Sixteen million immigrants had stayed on the island before entering the U.S. between 1892 and 1924. A former U.S. President's , George Washington, grandfather is also one of them. The island has become a museum island. In the museum, it exhibits a lot of stuff that the immigrants brought from their countries.
