Lady Liberty’s Torch
Within the Statue of Liberty in the big apple, her torch holds a secret you might not be aware of. Seldom open to the public is the space inside this famous landmark’s lamp, which is the highest point inside the world-famous statue. So what can you find at the top?
The crown is only open to the public by private appointment. But unfortunately, the actual torch has been closed since 1916, when explosives had been detonated on the island causing $100,000 of damage to the iconic 151ft statue.
For those who say that they’ve been inside the torch, actually, it’s only the crown that allows visitors inside via a spiral staircase, and many of lady liberty’s visitors misremember this small detail.
