I haven’t gone to many national parks but i did go to the Statue of Liberty many years ago. I appreciate the history. I enjoy hiking and spending time outside.
Sincerely,
Statue of Liberty National Monument
The statue stands on Liberty Island in New York, and overlooks New York Harbor and the city skyline. A symbol of liberty and relief from oppression, she was the first sight of America for US immigrants who arrived by boat.
State(s): New Jersey New York,
Established: 1924
“I think nature is beautiful, peaceful and something we should protect so that we and future generations can continue to enjoy it and benefit from our history. I am thankful for the park rangers who preserve the parks. I'm sure its not easy work.”
