On July 4, Statue of Liberty to finally reopen
July 02, 2013
Months after Superstorm Sandy swamped her little island, the Statue of Liberty will finally welcome visitors again. Sandy made landfall one day after the statue's 126th birthday. 

The storm flooded most of Liberty Island in New York Harbor. Lady Liberty herself was spared, but the surrounding grounds took a beating. Railings broke, docks and paving stones were torn up and buildings were flooded. The storm destroyed boilers, sewage pumps and electrical systems.
