As we count down our departure date so do we check off the last of the tourist things we've wanted to do. Ellis Island has been up on the list for a long time and we finally got over there yesterday. It was a beautiful day for a ride on the river. Once over there we did a slightly more expedited viewing of the place. Some 12 million immigrants went through the doors here and over 100 million Americans today can trace ancestors who commuted through here. Amazing.
I have been here and loved it. A fascinating place filled with many interesting facts. Glad you were able to visit. I see the 'special' name!
ReplyDeleteWe had an awesome time there and checked out the name as well. So much history very interesting. Loved the medical room.
