The Statue of Liberty was dedicated in 1886 as a gift from France; the Brooklyn Bridge, completed in 1883, helped knit Manhattan to Brooklyn and enabled New York's expansion.
Conservation
Visitor flows are managed at Liberty Island and in the museum to protect artifacts and structures; follow group access rules, pack out trash and keep to paths to minimize impact.
