The Statue of Liberty is one of America’s most enduring symbols of democracy and freedom. Throughout its 100+ years as the American monument, Lady Liberty has served as a beacon of hope for immigrants, tourists, and New York natives alike. Now, after months of being off-limits due to damage caused by Hurricane Sandy, the world-famous, national monument will once again be welcoming visitors starting on July 4th, 2013.
Lady Liberty is visible all along New York Harbor but actually calls Liberty Island home, and can be easily reached by ferry. On or after July 4th, park your car rental from Edge Auto Rental for a couple hours and visit this national treasure by ferry; it will be well worth the time spent outside the comfort of your NYC rental car.
Quick History Lesson
The Statue of Liberty was gifted to the people of the United States from France on October 28, 1886. In 1924, the statue was designated as a national monument and, in celebration of the monument’s centennial, was restored on July 4, 1986.
It’s entirely appropriate that the 4th of July (the celebration of America’s independence, in case you don’t know) be the designated re-opening date for Liberty Island and the Statue of Liberty. After an already trying year for the entire nation, keeping old traditions like a visit to Lady Liberty is exactly what Americans need.
