Statue of Liberty turns 125
From foreign gift to American icon; the Statue of Liberty turns 125 on Friday with a celebration meant to mimic the one held 125 years ago.
The Statue of Liberty will close for a year at the end of October as it undergoes a $27.25 million renovation that will make the interior safer and more accessible, US Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar announced Wednesday Aug. 10, 2011.
