History

The Statue of Liberty was a gift to the United States of America from the people of France. It was designed and built in France, but taken apart into pieces and shipped across the Atlantic Ocean to New York City. Liberty’s arm with the torch actually arrived first and was on display in the city for years to raise awareness and help raise funds for the completion of the statue. It was eventually erected in New York Harbor and became a symbol for the freedom and promise of America.
