Where can you find the Statue of Liberty?

Well it’s pretty hard to lose The Statue of Liberty – a gift from France that is over 300 feet tall, with the copper statue itself 150 feet tall. It’s a robed lady with a torch and a tabula ansata who greets all the people arriving on boats in New York Harbor. It sits on Liberty Island with a 4’6″ nose pointed Southeast. Thankfully the French had grown out of their naked lady phase, and this statue was about the Roman Goddess of Liberty and luckily as any frat boy can tell you, the Greeks and Romans were big into togas.

  • Texas
  • Arizona
  • California
  • New Mexico
