At a dinner in France in 1865, a group of Frenchmen discussed
their desire to celebrate freedom in the United States. They
wanted to create a statue for the United States. Before they
could do anything they needed a sculptor. Fortunately, they
found Frederic-Auguste Bartholdi to help them turn their dream
into a reality. First, Bartholdi created a design of a statue of a
woman holding a torch with a burning light of freedom. Then, he
worked to construct the statue in France. Meanwhile,
construction of the pedestal that the statue would stand on
began in the United States. After the statue was assembled in
France, it was disassembled and shipped to the United States.
At last, the statue arrived at Bedloe’s Island in the United
States, however the pedestal for the statue was not complete.
When the pedestal was finished in 1886, the statue was
reassembled. Finally, on October 28, 1886 the Statue of Liberty
was unveiled.
