Between 1892 and 1924, millions of people from all corners of the globe waited a stone's throw from Lady Liberty, hoping to pass the rigorous inspections that could allow or deny them to set foot on U.S. soil. In this box you'll find more than 25 meticulously reproduced replicas of artifacts documenting the complicated immigration process at the "Island of Hope, Island of Tears." Hold pieces of history as you reflect on the immigrant experience at Ellis Island.
