Ellis Island



Ellis Island

We visited the Ellis Island on Saturday. We went there by ferry. On the Island there was a museum from where we got audio guides. The audio guides were surprisingly good because then we all could go around the place by ourselves. There was so much to see that we didn’t have time to look at everything or at least I didn’t. I think that the most interesting part was upstairs where there were pictures of those days when people came to the USA through the Ellis Island. There were also original rooms that had been saved from those times. I think that the best part of the visit was when we found computers from which we could search if some of our relatives had been there when they had come as immigrants to the USA. It was really exciting to find a relative from there! We got an adress so that we can also search for our relatives who had travelled through Ellis Island back home in Finland. The address  is: www.EllisIsland.org
