The Statue of Liberty, located on Liberty Island in New York Harbor, is an iconic symbol of freedom and democracy. It was gifted by France to the United States in 1886 and stands as a beacon to all who seek freedom.
Designed by Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi and built by Gustave Eiffel, the statue was a joint effort between France and the United States, meant to commemorate the centennial of the American Declaration of Independence. It is made of copper and was assembled in the US after being shipped from France.
The statue is accessible by ferry, with tours running daily. For more details and booking, visit the National Park Service site.
