THINKING ABOUT FREEDOM AND HOW TO VISIT A LIBERTY STATUE

Liberty is something that has been a theme of our USA travels lately. It’s not something I had consciously planned. 

The Statue of Liberty was designed by who?

In 1865, a French political intellectual and anti-slavery activist named Edouard de Laboulaye proposed that a statue representing liberty be built for the United States. 

What is the Statue of Liberty's height?

The statue is 151 ft tall, and the REAL name of Lady Liberty is Liberty Enlightening the World. 

What is the material used to construct the Statue of Liberty?

This colossal copper statue is full of symbolism and hope and I loved learning the story and what this lady represents on the State of Liberty tour. 

How to Get to the Statue of Liberty

The Statue of Liberty National Monument is part of the National Parks Service. You can do a Statue of Liberty Cruise and see the Statue without going onto the island. You can even see it for free on the Staten Island Ferry.
