GREAT NEWS! This weekend we will be offering FREE tours of the unrestored Laundry Building as part of our Open House weekend to celebrate Ellis Island being selected as part of the @Preservation Nation NYC program. This building is NOT normally open for tours - so this is a great chance to experience some of the amazing "unseen" sights of Ellis Island! Check out our website for more information: www.saveellisisla... #saveellisisland #ellisisland
