The Statue of Liberty @ Whitefish Community Center

The Statue of Liberty
Come join us on July 31, 2025 at 1:00pm for an amazing presentation by Linda Smith at the Whitefish Community Center,

"She is an icon, a national treasure , and one of the most
recognizable figures in the world. Each year millions
who cherish her ideals make the journey to experience
her history and grandeur in person. She is the Statue of
Liberty, a symbol of freedom, inspiration, and hope.

It was 1865 when Frenchman Édouard Laboulaye
proposed the idea of presenting a monumental gift from
the people of France to the people of the United States.
Sculptor Frédéric-Auguste Bartholdi was in attendance
for Laboulaye ’s proclamation. Of like mind, Bartholdi
began conceptualizing the colossal structure that he
called, “Liberty Enlightening the World”.

Turning Bartholdi’s sculpture into reality took 21 years.
French supporters raised money to build the statue, and
Americans raised money for the pedestal it would stand
on. Finally, in 1886, the statue was dedicated."
