Image description: Today is the Statue of Liberty’s 125th birthday. It was dedicated on October 28, 1886 and was a gift of friendship from the people of France to the people of the United States.
To celebrate 125 years, five live webcams from the Statue’s torch will be turned on and give the world access to an area of the Statue that has been closed since 1916. This photo was taken while the crew installed the new webcams.
