The Statue of Liberty–Ellis Island Foundation and the National Park Service opened Phase I of the Peopling of America Center on October 28, 2011. Designed by ESI Design, the exhibit enlarges the story currently told of the Ellis Island Era (1892–1954) to include those who arrived before Ellis Island opened in 1892. Phase Two exhibits, which will open in 2013, will examine the immigration experience after Ellis Island closed in 1954 to the present day.
