The statue was delivered to the American ambassador in Paris on July 4th, 1884.

It was taken apart, crated and finally arrived in New York in June of 1885.

The French paid to ship it over, but the US had to pay to have a pedestal built.

Times were tough and it took awhile to raise the money via private funds drives.

The pedestal was completed in April of 1886 and the statute was completely set up and dedicated October 28,1886.
