My Mum took these pictures. For so many years, the Statue of Liberty was the first icon that most immigrants to the county saw. While there were other points of legal entry, like Galveston for example, Ellis Island was the one which springs to mind first. The main area which handles the largest portion of immigration has been converted into a museum which provides a lot of information about not only where these people came from, but also about who they were. The Statue of Liberty itself is on its own island next door, and you shouldn’t visit one without seeing the other.
