Celebrate your family’s heritage by adding a name to the Wall of Honor on Ellis Island. Today, you can inscribe a name to honor your family’s journey and be part of our shared history.

Located on Ellis Island overlooking the New York City skyline, this lasting tribute is a great way to preserve your family’s legacy and help support the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.

Unveiled in 1990, the wall originally included only Ellis Island passengers, and today it features nearly one million names – representing the dreams and legacies of those who shaped our nation. It is one of the only places in the country where you can honor your family heritage at a National Monument.
