The Statue of Liberty in Madison Square Park

By Jack Brummet, American History Ed.

The arm and torch of the Statue of Liberty was on exhibit in Madison Square Park from 1876-1882 to raise $$$ for the completion of the statue. In 1982, it was moved to what is now called Liberty Island and attached to the rest of the Statue of Liberty.
