Travel and Adventure

She’s one of the country’s most recognized women and she has aged
gracefully since her arrival in 1886. Lighting the way for immigrants,
visitors, and travelers, the Statue of Liberty was presented to the
United States by France in commemoration of the country’s centennial
and as a gesture of friendship from France. Student group travelers who
make the journey to see her are rewarded with a new sense of
citizenship and pride.

Standing at Liberty Island, the statue
has served as the ultimate symbol of a new life, freedom, and
opportunity for all who have gazed upon her. From 1886 until the early
1950’s, she was often one of the first glimpses of the United States
for millions of immigrants when their voyage from Europe arrived in New
York.
