Ellis Island, the great national landmark and irreplaceable American icon, is in dire need of repair and your help. From 1892 to 1954, the island served as a gateway into the United States for over 12 million people from all over the world. Today nearly 40% of all Americans can trace their roots to Ellis Island. In 1954, the island was closed but not protected from the elements of weather. In the 1990's, the main building was renovated and reopened as a museum, but much of the historic site still remains closed to the public.
