Q95: Where is the Statue of Liberty?

Discover the iconic Statue of Liberty, standing proudly on Liberty Island in New York Harbor. Conceived by a Frenchman to celebrate Franco-American friendship and America's centennial (1876), the statue symbolizes freedom and democracy. Funded by French and American citizens, Lady Liberty holds a torch to light the path to freedom and a tablet inscribed with America's birthday: July 4th, 1776. The Statue of Liberty, also known as "Statue of Liberty Enlightening the World," has welcomed millions of immigrants arriving at nearby Ellis Island, embodying hope and new beginnings. Today, more than 100 million Americans, nearly 40 percent of all Americans, have ancestors who passed by this beacon of liberty. Explore the rich history and enduring significance of the world's greatest symbol of freedom.
