Frank Sachs will present “American Immigration, The Saga of Ellis Island” at the Lyon County Museum, 301 West Lyon Street, Marshall on Monday, October 27 at 6:30 PM. Where we have come from and the story of America immigration. Because the focus has largely been on the story of Western European immigration, prior to the 21st Century it has often focused on the unique role Ellis Island and so will we, as we discuss how it served as Gateway to America during the latter half of 19th and early 20th Century during the heights of pre Great Depression emigration when a record number of immigrants came to the United States. Frank Sachs is a retired twin cities educator with a BS in American History and a MS in Guidance and Counseling. He has taught in both public and private schools for 40 plus years.

The program is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served. Programs at the Lyon County Museum are sponsored by members.
