Who is she?
Where did she come from?How was she made?1869 -- from the drawing board of the French sculptor Frederic-Auguste Bartholdi, a vision comes to life in the form of a grand monument honoring the friendship between France and America and the principle of liberty that binds them together.
This is a story of the determination and energy of the many who believed in this vision and collaborated to build what became an inspiration to millions.
