I can't imagine how scary it was to be Annie Moore at the age of 17 and her two little brothers being the first people to be processed through Ellis Island.

[@deltafour1212]

I went to New York a few years back. Of all the landmarks I visited there, it was Ellis Island that had and still has a hold on me to this day! To hear their recorded stories to see their pictures, read their words and being in awe of what brave people they had to be to come here with nothing but a dream. You can't express the experience you feel visiting there. If you're ever in NY, make it a point to visit Ellis Island and experience the magic yourself. You will come out changed forever!

[@MrStonks31]

I was gonna go there on a field trip but it got cancelled because of the Corona Virus.

[@ashleycruz9676]

is ellis island still here as of 2020?

[@deltafour1212]

Yeh, it's still there. They turned it into a Historical Museum
