Ellis Island Saga by The History Channel
Delve with your child into the lives of new immigrants to America! Despite its small size, Ellis Island--a tiny strip of land located in Upper New York Bay, near the New Jersey shore--holds a big part of the history of the United States. Of the 16 million immigrants who arrived in the U.S. from 1892 to 1954, 12 million of them passed through the federal immigration station located on the island. Explore the sights, sounds, and experiences on this entrance to America with the eFantasmic and the History Channel!
