The Peopling of America
The story of the Peopling of America is epic and complex. It spans thousands of years, contains an amazing diversity of characters, and takes place within a broad, global context.
It encompasses conquest, colonization, migration, enslavement, and annexation. It embraces those who settled here permanently as well as those who stayed for awhile, and then returned home.
We invite you to explore the Peopling of America in four exhibits:
* Global Migration
* Journeys: The Peopling of America, 1550-1890
* The Ellis Island Experience, 1892-1954
* Journeys: New Eras of Immigration, 1945 to the Present |
