The Statue of Liberty was a gift from France
This beautifully sculpted lady was designed by Frederic Bartholdi and was built by Gustave Eiffel. Gustave is also known for constructing the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. An amazing thing about this gift is that, it was shipped in crates from France to America (Now,that is what I call Love lol). The 46 meters statue was then assembled on the completed pedestal on what was then called Bedloe's Island. It was a gift to America on the 100th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
