Statue of Liberty


Facts & Info about the Statue of Liberty:  She stands at the entrance of New York harbor. A 151-foot statue of a  woman holding a book and a torch on-high. 

"Liberty Enlightening the  World" was a gift of  friendship from the people of France to the United States to commemorate the 100th anniversary of American Independence.  Her American name is the ‘Statue of Liberty’ and she adorns not only New York’s harbor, but also Swan Ally Island in the Seine River in Paris and also Paris' Luxembourg Gardens.

Yes, there are three Lady Liberties!   They are all symbols of friendship, freedom and peace between the US and France.
