That's right, Lady Liberty was an official lighthouse! While only managed by the Lighthouse Board from 1886 to 1902, the colossal statue has an incredible history and is now maintained by the National Park Service. Listen in for the amazing story of how funding was raised, how she failed as a lighthouse, and how she was originally built wrong - and left that way for almost a century!
