Today in 1885, the Statue of Liberty arrived from France. It was a gift of friendship that arrived in 350 pieces and had to be assembled in place. This 1883 photo was taken in a park in Paris before shipping. Just her huge head. :)

It arrived in pieces, now it makes sense.

The Americans installed the arm holding the light incorrectly. The light was made as an observation tower, that had to be restricted due to the Americans installing the arm wrong, couldn't handle the weight. That wasn't corrected until the US did a total refurbishment of the statue in 1988. The lamp recoated with gold was in the 1988 Pasadena Tournament of Roses Parade...

How is that relative to the atrocities that the confederates war inflicted....relative to the enslavement of other human beings? You know, there is a reason there are no Hitler statues in Germany.

The rehab was done finished in 1986. They had a big to-do about it because it was 100 hundred years since France sent it to us. I was in NYC in June 1984. They had all the scaffolding up around it. It was very disappointing not to be able to go up into it. I did get to do that in 1975 when my church youth group went. It is quite a climb!

I'm a Founder of AncientFaces and support the community answering questions & helping members make connections to the past (thus my official title of Founder & Content and Community Support ). For me, it's been a labor of love for over 20 years. I truly believe with all of my heart that everyone should be remembered for generations to come.
I am 2nd generation San Jose and have seen a lot of changes in the area while growing up. We used to be known as the "Valley of Heart's Delight" (because the Valley was covered with orchards and there were many canneries to process the food grown here, which shipped all over the US) - now we have adopted the nickname "Capital of Silicon Valley" and Apple, Ebay, Adobe, Netflix, Facebook, and many more tech companies are within a few miles of my current home in San Jose (including AncientFaces). From a small town of 25,000, we have grown to 1 million plus. And when you add in all of the communities surrounding us (for instance, Saratoga, where I attended high school, living a block from our previous Mayor), we are truly one of the big cities in the US. I am so very proud of my hometown. For more information see Kathy - Founder & Content and Community Director

I want to build a place where my son can meet his great-grandparents. My grandmother Marian Joyce (Benning) Kroetch always wanted to meet her great-grandchildren, but she died just a handful of years before my son's birth.
So while she didn't have the opportunity to meet him, at least he will be able to know her.

My father's side is full blood Sicilian and my mother's side is a combination of Welsh, Scottish, German and a few other European cultures. One of my more colorful (ahem black sheep) family members came over on the Mayflower. He was among the first to be hanged in the New World for a criminal offense he made while onboard the ship.
