Directions
Registry Room
Continue through to the end of the “Journeys: The Peopling of America, 1550-1890” exhibit. Turn right, passing the banners of city names above, and passing through the section called "Building a Nation". As you leave the gallery, you’ll spot a large staircase on your left. Make your way up these stairs to the second floor. You should now be in the Registry Room, or Great Hall. Pause for a moment. Stand in the middle of the hall and glance up at all the American flags, chandeliers and ceiling tiles as you listen to our next collection of great stories.
