Statue of Liberty arrived in NY 140 years ago
On June 17, 1885, parts of the Statue of Liberty arrived at the Port of New York. The statue, a universal symbol of freedom and democracy, was designed as a gift from France to the United States. Assembling the pieces took several months, and the statue was officially inaugurated in 1886 in the presence of President Grover Cleveland. It then became a symbol of hope and liberty, located on Liberty Island, and is registered as one of the most prominent human landmarks in history.
