I introduced this program in 2011, for the Statue of Liberty's 125th Anniversary. For 2026 - and America's 250th Birthday - I have completely rebuilt it, with all new original photographs of the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, and Liberty State Park, plus dozens of historical images.
Discover how the Statue of Liberty was built and what she symbolizes, and meet the people involved in her creation: sculptor Frederic Bartholdi, engineer Gustave Eiffel, architect Richard Morris Hunt, newspaper publisher Joseph Pulitzer, and many more. The program ends with brief histories of Ellis Island and Liberty State Park.
