With the significant shade the trees provide it would seem reasonable for the city to place a bench or two beside the monument so locals could enjoy a coffee or lunch outside while remembering those they will never met but gave so much for them.

I had no idea there was a completely different Island known as Ellis Island. Which tells the story of American immigration through exhibits, artifacts, and records from its time as the nation's largest immigration station (1892-1954). Visitors can walk through the original processing areas like the Registry Room and Baggage Room, while exploring three floors of exhibits, and searching for ancestors in the American Family Immigration History Center. Our ferry stopped at Ellis Island on the way to the Statue of Liberty. It was such an awesome experience! the museum is a powerful landmark symbolizing the "American Dream" for the over 12 million immigrants who passed through its doors. In the end, I found my great-grandfathers name on the list of registry dating back to the early 1900's from Pamplona, Spain. It is a self-guided tour, no entrance fee for the museum, but a ferry ticket is required. You can catch the ferry from Battery Park in Manhattan or Liberty State Park in Jersey City.

The Hard Hat tour - led by Melissa - was a fascinating introduction into the history of the Ellis Island facilities and hospital, progressing from its inception to very busy facility for evaluation and care of incoming immigrants, to a coast guard hospital to present day preservation efforts. A portion of your ticket price goes to the preservation efforts. Melissa was very knowledgeable, invited questions and told interesting stories about the site's uses and history and some of the people involved. Ticketing: One thing I was confused about was the timing of the tour in relation to the time I purchased the ticket for. When I purchased the ticket online, I "assumed" an 11:30 am tour ticket was for an 11:30 am tour. Nope. The 11:30 am is the time you need to be at Battery Park or Liberty Park to get on the ferry to Ellis Island. The tour can be up to 2-1/2 hours later. And we were told that we shouldn't arrive before 11:30 am, because we would not be allowed on an earlier ferry, even if we wanted to go to Liberty Island beforehand. (I got that express direction from the tour group as a response to my specific email question.). Anyway, we arrived at 11:00 am and got the 11:30 am ferry. At Ellis island a little after 12:15 pm, we were told our tour would be at 2:30 pm. We asked if we could be added to the 12:30 pm tour, and they agreed. So we were able to do that. I think the ticketing is confusing and the rules about taking an early ferry are awkward. Maybe it's during very heavy tourist season? But today I didn't see why we were told we couldn't take an earlier ferry. The 30 minute video in the museum is worth seeing. We grabbed something to eat at the museum after our Hard Hat tour My partner got a grilled chicken sandwich, which was quite good on a fresh bun. I ordered a side salad ($5) as an entree and it was quite large, fresh and tasty.

The museum's unique focus on folk art makes it interesting to visit despite its size. It's free to visit, so I recommend it for a quick visit if you're already in the neighborhood (Lincoln Center is right across the street), but I wouldn't go out of my way to visit unless they have an exhibit you're very interested in. There is a great little gift shop; since the museum is so small, you can't miss it but save a few minutes to explore it, too.
