If you visit New York you can't skip the trip to Ellis Island Museum. The whole place is full of history and we spent about 3 hours walking around learning interesting things about the immigration to America and the start of our country. Since most if not all Americans have ancesters who came through Ellis Island on their way to America, the museum holds special meaning and in the great hall you can feel the energy and hope that drove those millions to come to a new world. Fascinating bit of American history.
