The Statue of Liberty was a gift from France to the United States over 100 years ago as a symbol of friendship. It is now an international symbol of liberty and freedom. Visitors can access the statue by ferry from Manhattan, but there are long lines and intense security screening due to its status as a potential target. While the staff are serious due to managing large crowds and security, they provide information to visitors.
