This dramatic saga of courage and perseverance has inspired generations as an iconic immigration experience and was the reason our organization was established in 1820. As the nations oldest continuously operating public museum we embrace a commitment to telling this story with historical accuracy inclusion and renewed recognition for histories that traditionally have been submerged silenced or erased.
