Slide Lecture | Before Ellis Island: The Castle Garden Emigrant Depot 1855-1890

Tuesday, April 20, 2010, 6:30 pm

Free

With Brendan O'Malley, Doctoral Candidate in American History, CUNY Graduate Center. Eight million immigrants anxiously awaited entry into the United States between 1855 and 1890 in the old fort now known as Castle Clinton in Battery Park. Most Americans have heard of Ellis Island, which opened in 1892, but few have heard about its precursor, the Castle Garden Emigrant Depot, through which the vast majority of European immigrants entered the United States during the second half of the nineteenth century. This visual presentation will highlight the creation and operation of this fascinating institution.
