Lady Liberty
The Statue of Liberty (French: Statue de la Liberté), officially
titled Liberty Enlightening the World (French: La liberté éclairant
le monde), is a monument that was presented by the people of France
to the United States of America in 1886 to celebrate its
centennial.
Standing on Liberty Island in New York Harbor, it welcomes
visitors, immigrants, and returning Americans traveling by
ship.
Hundreds of other Statues of Liberty have been erected
worldwide.
Boy Scouts of America placed a small-scale replica of the Statue
of Liberty at the Gentry Building in Columbia, Missouri in 1950.
Located at the Parks & Recreation Administration Offices, at
7th and Broadway, the plaque notes that the statue was dedicated as
a pledge of everlasting fidelity and loyalty.
The local project was a component of the Scouts' national 40th
anniversary celebration which had Strengthen the Arm of Liberty as
its theme. More than 200 replicas were placed nationally as a
result.
This one is about the same size of the ones reproduced by the
Boy Scouts (8'-4"). I am not sure this is one of the 200 replicas
produced.
Have Fun!
