Which government facility is being opened to the public for the first time in 60 years?

Answer: Ellis Island Hospital

Since 1954, the famous immigration health screening facility has been closed down and unavailable for public access due to its dilapidated condition, but nonprofit Save Ellis Island and the National Parks Service will soon open the facility to tour groups. Groups of up to 10 visitors at a time will be permitted to explore the 30-building complex that saw more than 12 million immigrants pass through during its 62 years of operation.
