Statue of Liberty Construction
The Statue of Liberty is one of the most recognizable American landmarks ever. It took hundreds of construction workers two years to put together the statue, as they went piece by piece. It took artist Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi from 1870 until 1884 to design and sculpt the huge statue. Then, it was transferred overseas from France to New York City. The construction of Lady Liberty was officially completed on October 28th, 1886.
