American Immigrant Wall of Honor
Outside the Ellis Island museum, this wall displays names honoring individuals and families connected to American immigration. It is a brief stop with a stronger payoff if you have a name to find.
Why go
The Wall of Honor makes remembrance visible beside the former processing station. Its names are commemorative inscriptions, not a complete list of people who passed through Ellis Island; they can honor arrivals through other ports and periods too. Look across the panels and harbor setting, or search for a family name before your visit.
What to look for
Names appear on stainless steel panels outside the museum.
The wall faces the harbor and the Lower Manhattan skyline.
Useful to know
If seeking a particular name, find its panel location before arriving.
Combine this outdoor stop with the museum's indoor arrival story.
