Sometimes it can be difficult to tell what part of a historic structure has been repaired or replaced, especially when modifications took place a long time ago.

In the centennial restoration for the Statue of Liberty that took place in the 1980s, replacement bars were stamped with the year that the restoration was completed: 1986!

We’ve had some historically low temperatures in the New York metro area, but the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island National Museum of Immigration are still open for visitors.

Make sure to wear extra layers, limit your time outdoors, and plan indoor adventures into your itinerary.

Ellis Island National Museum of Immigration and The Statue of Liberty Museum are great places to stay warm at the park!

People who climb to the crown of the Statue of Liberty can experience this close up view of the statue’s face.

Her copper shell, or envelope, is made of thin copper sheets that were heated and hammered over molds or forms.

The inside of the copper is a direct negative impression of the statue as seen from the outside, so many of her features are visible from the inside.

Reservations for the crown are limited and can sell out several months in advance. Visit NPS.gov/STLI to plan your trip!

What is the biggest snowstorm that happened in your lifetime?

One of the first big storms that the Statue of Liberty faced was the Great Blizzard of 1888.

Less than a year and a half after the statue was dedicated, this legendary snowstorm dropped over 50 inches of snow to parts of the greater NYC metro area.

After the storm, a New York Times headline declared “Liberty’s Statue All Right”. According to the article, the door to the pedestal was blown open, allowing piles of snow to enter the monument.

Snow allegedly entered the head of the statue as well, but other than that, Lady Liberty was reported to be unharmed by the storm.

Did any of the copper from the Statue of Liberty have to be replaced over the years?

The vast majority of the statue’s copper shell, or envelope, is original.

There are a few exceptions to this:

🗽The Statue of Liberty’s original torch was replaced. The torch that was on the statue for nearly 100 years was so badly damaged from galvanic corrosion and other stresses, that it was decided in the 1980s that a new torch should be created and placed on the statue.

🗽Water was able to collect over the years in certain sections of the statue, like one of the curls and the statue’s nose. The first photo shows the damage that the water caused to the statue’s curl, and the second photo shows the restored curl on the statue.
