Ellis Island in New York City, NY

In 1892, Ellis Island became the spot of the first federally operated and regulated immigration station, serving as the primary entrance into the United States. Although Ellis Island didn't officially close until 1954, it no longer served as the primary way for immigrants to gain access into America by 1925. In 1965 Ellis Island was declared a national monument as part of the Statue of Liberty.

Hundreds of millions of dollars have been put into restoring the island, including the transformation of the island's main building into the Ellis Island Immigration Museum. From its storied history to its stunning views, Ellis Island is definitely a great sightseeing opportunity while in New York City.
