The Ellis Island Immigration Museum is part of the Statue of Liberty National
Monument and is one of the country's most popular historic sites. In 2001, The
Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation, in partnership with the National
Park Service, unveiled the American Family Immigration History Center®.
This exciting family research facility at Ellis Island provides visitors with
advanced computer and multimedia technology, printed materials, and
professional assistance for investigating immigration history, family
documentation, and genealogical exploration.

The Immigrant Experience Comes Alive
The museum is located in the Main Building of the former immigration station
complex and tells the moving tales of the 12 million immigrants who entered
America through the golden door of Ellis Island. Today, the descendants of
those immigrants account for almost half of the American people.
The 45-minute Audio Tour, available in nine languages, invites visitors to
relive the immigrant experience as if they were the "new arrival" and is
ideal for individuals with limited time. Additional tour options describe
exhibits in more detail via in-depth interviews with historians, architects
and archaeologists. A special children’s tour is narrated by “Marty the Muskrat”
and is offered in five languages.
