David Luchsinger, superintendent of Statue of Liberty National Monument and Ellis Island, announced that the interior of the Statue will re-open to the public on Oct. 28, 2012.

“We have reached a critical milestone in our Fire and Life Safety Project where we can begin to allow visitors back in to the monument on a limited basis while the project moves to completion by the end of the year.  We are very excited that Lady Liberty will once again open her doors on her 126th birthday; October 28th.” said Luchsinger. “We will be releasing all the details in the near future, so please keep checking our web site at www.nps.gov/stli, our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/StatueLibrtyNPS and our Twitter feed at www.twitter.com/StatueLibrtyNPS.”
