What is the Wall of Honor?
The Wall of Honor is the fundraising tool for the Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation. The Wall honors all immigrants to America, not just Ellis Island immigrants. This is not an official listing of immigrants that entered through Ellis. To be included on the Wall, one must register a name and make a tax-deductible donation. You can do so on line or while you are at Ellis. There are over 600,000 names currently listed on several walls. If you are looking for a specific name, I suggest your search by donor or honoree at the Wall of Honor Computer terminals in the Baggage Room. Some people bring a crayon and nice paper in order to do a rubbing of their ancestors name on the Wall.
