The copper lady dressed in robes that stands at the entrance to New York harbor is one of the largest statues ever built. Her full name is Liberty Enlightening the World, but she is better known as the Statue of Liberty, or simply Lady Liberty. The imposing statue was a gift from the people of France, designed by French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, and built by Gustave Eiffel. Lady Liberty was dedicated on October 28, 1886.
CNN: Statue of Liberty Fast Facts
“The total weight of copper in the statue is 62,000 pounds (31 tons) and the total weight of steel in the statue is 250,000 pounds (125 tons). Total weight of the statue’s concrete foundation is 54 million pounds (27,000 tons).” In addition to the fast facts, CNN provides a Statue of Liberty timeline that starts in 1865 when French historian Edouard de Laboulaye proposed the idea of a monument to commemorate American’s upcoming centennial.

Learn the who, what, where, when, why and how of the Statue’s creation and history. “Between 1886 and 1924, almost 14 million immigrants entered the United States through New York. The Statue of Liberty was a reassuring sign that they had arrived in the land of their dreams. To these anxious newcomers, the Statue’s uplifted torch did not suggest enlightenment, ‘as her creators intended, but rather, welcome.'”
