Program Description

Event Details

As millions of Europeans considered starting over across the Atlantic, leaving home meant giving up certainty for the unknown. Trace the choices they faced as they prepared to emigrate, and follow their path from village to port. Hear what the voyage was really like in steerage and what awaited them when they stepped into crowded arrival halls at places like Castle Garden and Ellis Island.

Presented by Genealogist Katherine Willson.
