Nestled in 2 rooms in the museum heart of Liberty Station is the New Americans Museum; neighbors are the Visions Museum of Textile Art, the Nautical History Gallery & Museum, and the San Diego Watercolor Society. Here are featured the stories of various immigrant groups in San Diego, their cultures, and what they retain and contribute to the American mosaic. Admission is free, and parking is available throughout Liberty Station.
As a nation of immigrants, America has benefited from an infusion of talents and skills that are the foundations of many rich traditions. In the civic, economic, and artistic arenas, yesterday’s newcomer is tomorrow’s pioneer in a continuing process that defines us to this day.
The preservation and presentation of the immigrant experience in the United States is a central commitment of the New Americans Museum’s mission. We are dedicated to insuring that individual stories are safeguarded in the Family Histories Essays and Oral and Visual Histories archives as enduring testaments to our immigrant roots as a culture and a nation.
