The Statue of Liberty arrived in New York by ship on this day in history, June 17, 1885. Construction would take some time, as the pedestal was still being built.
The statue’s crown can only be accessed by climbing 162 stairs. Christine Rousselle is a lifestyle reporter with Fox News Digital.
An "enduring symbol of freedom and democracy," the Statue of Liberty was given as a gift from the people of France in celebration of American independence and the friendship of the two countries, according to the History Channel website.
