Before it ever stood in New York Harbor, the Statue of Liberty spent time in Paris — displayed in pieces, used to raise the money needed to finish it.

The head was completed first and put on public display at the 1878 World's Fair, the Exposition Universelle, held at the Champ-de-Mars. Visitors could climb inside it via an iron staircase and look out through the eyes. The entrance fee went directly into the construction fund.

The statue was never a simple gift. France agreed to build and pay for the statue itself, while the United States was responsible for funding the pedestal it would stand on. Both sides struggled. In France, sculptor Frédéric-Auguste Bartholdi held lotteries and sold miniature models to raise funds. In the US, newspaper publisher Joseph Pulitzer ran a public campaign to get ordinary citizens to contribute — and 125,000 people did.

The internal iron framework that holds the whole structure together was designed by Gustave Eiffel, the same engineer who would go on to build his famous tower just eleven years later in 1889.

When the statue was finally complete in France in 1884, workers broke it down into 350 individual pieces, packed them into 214 wooden crates, and loaded them onto a French frigate called the Isère. The ship arrived in New York Harbor in June 1885. Reassembly took four months. The official dedication ceremony was held on October 28, 1886 — eight years after that head sat in a Paris park.

She stands 151 feet (46 meters) tall without the pedestal, and she sways up to 3 inches (7.6 centimeters) in the wind.

Today, Gov. Andy Beshear signed Senate Bills 57 and 157 to potentially lower utility costs through a nuclear energy development pilot program and to make homes more affordable for Kentuckians by lowering mortgage rates.

“Decisions at the federal level are causing costs to rise, and Americans across the country are feeling it at the grocery, gas pump and when their bills come at the end of the month. In Kentucky, we’re doing what we can to help our families,” said Gov. Beshear. “These two pieces of legislation will help more families achieve homeownership by lowering mortgage rates and potentially lower utility rates for Kentuckians over the long term. Every step makes a difference when it comes to helping our people save their hard-earned dollars.”
