Located
in New York Harbor, this statue was a gift of international
friendship from the people of France to the people of the
United States and is one of the most universal symbols of
political freedom and democracy. This park was dedicated on
October 28, 1886 and was designated a National Monument on
October 15, 1924. The Statue was extensively restored in time
for her spectacular centennial on July 4, 1986.
