Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty remain closed after massive damage by Superstorm Sandy

“No official opening” for important immigrant history site in New York City

The Statue of Liberty-Ellis foundation and the National Park Service are currently working hard at restoring both Liberty and Ellis Island to their former glory. It is possible to make donations on the www.ellisisland.org website with the added bonus of knowing that whatever you donate will be doubled by a challenge grant made by a very generous board member.

Over 40% of the American population can trace their ancestors through Ellis Island immigration records and up to 15,000 people visit the Statue of Liberty daily. Let’s hope that it will not be too long until both of these iconic landmarks can be restored and shared with the world once again.
