Mahalo travel expert Asha K. shares a few tips to help travelers plan their next trip to the iconic and historic tourist destination that is the Ellis Island Immigration Museum in New York City.
Ellis Island
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The Ellis Island Immigration Museum is located at 17 Battery Place,
New York City and has been open to the public since 1990. Part of the Statue of Liberty National Monument, Ellis Island's museum is located in the former immigration station complex and attracts vistors from around the globe annually.
The museum features films, archives, recordings and photos of the 12 million immigrants who entered the United States through the mouth of the Hudson River in New York Harbor. Nearly 100 million Americans today can trace their immigrant roots to Ellis Island.
All it takes is a $12 ferry ride for adults ($5 for kids) on the Ellis Island-Liberty Island ferry to get to the museum.
If you'd prefer just to sight-see without paying a dime, you can always take a free ride on the Staten Island ferry to view Ellis Island from the Hudson.
Wall of Honor
---------------------------------------------------------------------
A special feature of the Ellis Island museum, the Wall of Honor overlooks the Statue of Liberty and the New York skyline and is the longest wall of names in the world. This unique display pays tribute to America's rich cultural heritage, celebrating American immigration from its earliest beginnings right up to the present day, and contains more than 700,000 names inscribed for posterity by family members and friends.c
Immigration History Center
---------------------------------------------------------------------
This is an exciting interactive area at the Ellis Island Immigration Museum. You can access the passenger records of the ships that landed some 22 million immigrants, crew members, and other passengers at the Port of New York and Ellis Island from 1892 to 1924. To prepare for your search, gather as much information as you can, such as: the passenger's first and last names; approximate year of arrival; ethnicity (which may include race, nationality and religion); approximate age on arrival; ship of travel; port of departure; and whether the passenger traveled with other family members. Experienced volunteers can provide guidance so visitors can view manifests and ship images from their ancestor's journey.c
Tours
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The 45-minute audio tour, available in nine languages, invites visitors to relive the immigrant experience as if they were the new arrival and is ideal for individuals with limited time. Cost is $8 for adults and $7.25 for seniors and children under 12.cAdditional tour options describe exhibits in more detail via in-depth interviews with historians, architects and archaeologists. A special children's tour is narrated by Marty the Muskrat and is offered in five languages.c
History
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Before being designated as the site of the first Federal immigration station by President Benjamin Harrison in 1890, Ellis Island had a varied history. The local Indian tribes had called it Kioshk or Gull Island. Due to its rich and abundant oyster beds and plentiful and profitable shad runs, it was known as Oyster Island for many generations during the Dutch and English colonial periods. By the time Samuel Ellis became the island's private owner in the 1770's, the island had been called Kioshk, Oyster, Dyre, Bucking and Anderson's Island. In this way, Ellis Island developed from a sandy island that barely rose above the high tide mark, into a hanging site for pirates, a harbor fort, ammunition and ordinance depot named Fort Gibson, and finally into an immigration station. Prior to 1890, individual states regulated immigration into the United States. Castle Garden in the Battery (originally known as Castle Clinton) served as the New York State immigration station from 1855 to 1890 and approximately eight million immigrants, mostly from Northern and Western Europe, passed through its doors. These early immigrants came from nations such as England, Ireland, Germany and the Scandinavian countries, and constituted the first large wave of immigrants that settled and populated the U.S. Throughout the 1800's and intensifying in the latter half of the 19th century, ensuing political instability, restrictive...

9/11 memorial tribute: New York and Donadea, Ireland
After visiting the 9/11 memorial in New York, I stumbled upon the 9/11 memorial in Donadea Forest Park, Ireland which includes a plaque with the poem One, a tribute by Cheryl Sawyer for one of the firefighters who died during 9/11 - Sean Tallon of Ladder Company Ten. His father came from Donadea so they erected this memorial for him and the others that lost their lives when the towers fell.

Ireland's Great Hunger Museum - In the Lion's Den: Daniel MacDonald, Ireland and Empire Opening
On January 19, 2016 Ireland's Great Hunger Museum at Quinnipiac University opened a new exhibition, In the Lion's Den: Daniel MacDonald, Ireland and Empire. The exhibition is the first of its kind in the United States and reevaluates the undeservedly forgotten 19th-century Irish artist, Daniel Macdonald (1820-1853).
The museum received a $16,867 grant for the exhibition from Connecticut Humanities, a nonprofit affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities which supports cultural and historic organizations that tell the state's stories, build community and enrich lives.
Macdonald holds the distinction of having produced the only known painting of the Great Hunger, said Grace Brady, executive director of the museum. We anticipate a great response from visitors both here and abroad.
The centerpiece of the exhibition, Macdonald's An Irish Peasant Family Discovering the Blight of their Store (1847), is crossing the Atlantic for the first time, according to Niamh O'Sullivan, the museum's curator.
This painting, which is displayed in the National Folklore Collection at University College Dublin, and others, will highlight the lack of famine art and reveal how artists told the story of the worst demographic catastrophe of 19th-century Europe by other pictorial means, O'Sullivan added.
Macdonald made his debut as an artist at the age of 13. Less than 20 years later, he was dead. But in that short time, he produced an impressive number of works of striking originality, insight and skill. The exhibition will consist of 21 paintings and sketches borrowed from major museums and institutions in Ireland, as well as private collectors, in addition to two works that are part of the museum's permanent collection.
In the Lion's Den is an important landmark in Irish and Irish-American cultural and social history and will expand knowledge of themes relating to life in 19th-century Ireland.
The exhibition will be accompanied by a book by O'Sullivan, which presents exciting new research on Macdonald. The book will be available online and at the museum, and will be distributed in Ireland by Cork University Press. The museum will be closed from Dec. 28-Jan. 19 to prepare the exhibition.
The museum received a $16,867 grant for the exhibition from Connecticut Humanities, a nonprofit affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities which supports cultural and historic organizations that tell the state's stories, build community and enrich lives.
The mission of Ireland's Great Hunger Museum is to collect, preserve, exhibit and study art, artifacts and literature relating to the Irish Famine and Great Hunger from 1845-1852. The museum educates audiences of all ages about the underlying political, social, economic and historic causes to the Great Hunger and the magnitude of the disaster. The museum contains the world's largest collection of Great Hunger-related art by noted contemporary Irish and Irish-American artists, as well as a number of period paintings by some of Ireland's most important 19th-century artists.
The museum, located at 3011 Whitney Ave., is open Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Thursdays, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Sundays, from 1-5 p.m. Admission is free. For more information, please visit ighm.org or call 203-582-6500.

We are here today to dedicate this memorial to those we lost. World peace through free trade was the inspiration for the sphere which once stood at the World Trade Centre. It survived the collapse of the twin towers as did the idea that catalysed its creation. A peaceful world based on trade and the free movement of people and ideas. The sphere may be damaged but our belief in the principle it represents have never been stronger.

And shortly after, during the first day, I realised that your loved ones gave us the example on which we would build.

STORYLINE:
Six months to the minute after two hijacked planes slammed into the World Trade Centre, victims' families and New York city officials paused on Monday to remember the two thousand and 830 victims killed in the attacks.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg introduced the moments marking the impacts of the planes - at 0846 local time into the north tower and 0903 into the south.
Prayers and a message from President George W. Bush were read during the service at Battery Park, just blocks from the site of the trade centre.
New York state Governor George Pataki and former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani also spoke at the ceremony.
City officials have dedicated a temporary memorial to victims that uses a sculpture damaged in the September 11 attack.
The Sphere, a steel and bronze sculpture that stood in the fountain of the trade centre plaza, was gashed and partially crushed by falling debris.
It was created in 1971 by German artist Fritz Koenig.
The day of remembrance was to end after dark with the ceremonial lighting of two beams aimed skyward from a spot near ground zero.

President Donald Trump's top immigration official on Tuesday offered a revised version of the poem long displayed inside the Statue of Liberty's pedestal that aligns more closely with the administration's latest rule aimed at curbing the number of people who enter the United States legally.
Ken Cuccinelli, acting director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, was asked by NPR whether the words of Emma Lazarus' “The New Colossus,” inscribed on a bronze tablet exhibited in the museum at the statue's base, remain part of the American ethos.

PA 2nd Congressional District - Brendan Boyle (D) discusses Gun Control
Born and raised in a Philadelphia rowhome, Brendan Boyle worked hard to achieve the American Dream.
Brendan learned the value of hard work from his father, a SEPTA maintenance custodian who emigrated from Ireland at the age of 19, and his mother, a school crossing guard. Brendan was the first in his family to attend college and received a scholarship to attend the University of Notre Dame. Brendan would later earn his Master’s Degree in public policy from Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government.
In 2014, Brendan campaigned for and was elected to serve in the U.S. House of Representatives.
In Congress, Brendan has never forgot where he’s from or what he’s fighting for. As a member of the House Budget Committee, Brendan is fighting to ensure that our budget expands opportunities for all Americans. As a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, he is committed to ensuring a cohesive foreign policy agenda that supports our values abroad and keeps Americans safe.
In December 2016, Brendan co-founded the Blue Collar Caucus, whose goal is to facilitate legislative ideas focused on addressing wage stagnation, job insecurity, trade, offshoring, and reduced career opportunities for those in the manufacturing and building trades. Recognized for his leadership, he was appointed by the Democratic Caucus as the Co-Chair of the Jobs with Dignity task force to lead the party’s development of a new economic agenda.
Prior to his service in Congress, Brendan served for six years in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. While serving Northeast Philadelphia and Montgomery County in Harrisburg, Brendan worked to support record public school funding under Governor Rendell, helped gather bipartisan support for Act 89, the first major transportation bill passed in Pennsylvania in 20 years, and fought against Republican led cuts to our public schools and attacks on organized labor.
He is married to Jennifer, a Montgomery County public school teacher, with whom he has one daughter, Abigail. They reside in Northeast Philadelphia.
