Statue of Liberty's Original Torch Removed To Museum-- Part 2

The move on Thursday, November 15 was the latest chapter for the icon that "has crossed many miles in its lifetime,"  according to Stephen Briganti.

The torch left France in 1976 and was brought to the United States where it was exhibited at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia and then it went to New York City's Madison Square Park.  The torch made the trip to help raise funds to pay for the statue's pedestal.

It went back to Paris in 1882 and then returned to New York Harbor along with the other pieces of the crated statue in 1885.

The torch was held high by Lady Liberty from 1886 to 1984, but modifications to the flame changed the original design over the years.
