To add on to the story of the Dauphin one in PA: The first statue was put up as a prank! It was 18 foot tall and made of plywood and Venetian blinds. No one knew who made it or how it got there, and no one would come forward to take the credit/blame. This first replica was blown off her pedestal and destroyed in 1992 when a series of storms hit, a surprisingly long run considering its construction materials. However, in the six years since she first appeared, the people of Dauphin Township had grown rather fond of her. Money was raised to erect a heavier, sturdier 25 foot version of the statue, this time constructed from metal. This one was put in place in 1997 by a helicopter and lashed to the piling.
It wasn’t until years later in 2011 that local lawyer Gene Stilp finally owned up to not only orchestrating the making of the statue but also taking the daring trip into the dangerous river water to climb the piling and help erect the statue
Liberty building in Buffalo NY has 2 statues
Came here to comment this
Me too!@@subifyouhavebigdong1496
The Statue of Liberty in Dauphin, PA is actually seen along both US Route 15 & US Route 22. It's slightly closer to the western US Route 15. (The photo is taken along US15)
Another Statue of Liberty replica in France is in Colmar! Colmar is where the Statue of Liberty's sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi was born! A 12 m (39 ft 4 in) replica was dedicated there on July 4, 2004, to commemorate the 100th anniversary of his death (he died in Paris on October 4, 1904). The Bartholdi Museum in Colmar contains numerous models of various sizes made by Bartholdi during the process of designing the statue. There's another Statue of Liberty in Saint-Cyr-sur-Mer on France's Mediterranean coast as Frédéric Bartholdi donated a copy to them for their town square!
In 1950, the BSA celebrated their fortieth anniversary in 1950 with approximately two hundred 100-inch replicas of the statue, made of stamped copper, purchased by Boy Scout troops and donated in 39 states in the US and several of its possessions and territories. The project was the brainchild of Kansas City businessman JP Whitaker, who was then Scout Commissioner of the Kansas City Area Council. The copper statues were manufactured by Friedley-Voshardt Co. (Chicago, Illinois) and purchased through the Kansas City Boy Scout office by those wanting one. Many have been lost or destroyed, but preservationists have been able to account for about a hundred of them
They are commonly installed at city halls, libraries, and schools. One of these statues was sent to the Philippines. After some years at the mouth of the Pasig River, Manila, it was kept in a store room at the Scout Reservation, Makiling, Laguna, for about two decades. It is now stored at the national office of the Boy Scouts of the Philippines, Manila.
Indeed, Seattle has one of the statues donated by BSA, installed in 1952, and stands at Alki Beach Park, the original landing of the Denny Party - whose settlement was first known as New York Alki.
I have actually seen the Statue of LIberty that in in the Susquehanna River! It is great to know the history of its placement!
There's a Statue of Liberty on front of the American Celebration on Parade Museum in Virginia lol
It caught me by complete surprise on my vacation 2 years ago as I passed by it while on my way to Shenandoah Caverns. I stopped to take a picture of it on my way out 😂
Nice video. There is also one on the facade of the cathedral in Milan, Italy. It's one of the many figurines.
There’s about a 10-15 foot one in front of K&M Fabrication on M-60 in Cassopolis, MI. Drove past it a few times, found it incredibly random yet well done with a nice base.
There’s a replica in Liberty Park Alabama not so far from Hoover.
I went to Mackinac Island a couple years ago, and saw a mini Statue of Liberty there.
Can't forget about the Saul Goodman Statue of Liberty of Albuquerque New Mexico. Ha ha ha. I know I am kidding.
About to say this 😂
At the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles, there is a replica hand and torch of the Statue of Liberty. In El Monte, there is another recreation as well.
There's one in La Junta, Colorado
The music reminds me of P1 with Matt and Tommy lol. Nice video!
In Argentina, there is also a replica, but perhaps the most interesting aspect is that it was made by the same author as the one in New York, Federico Augusto Bartholdi. According to official documents, it was installed in 1875 😮
Thanks! Video is fun.
Theres one in south west Norway. In Karmøy i think. Alot of the metalls used in the original statue came from there
There's a small Statue of Liberty in the U.S. territory of Guam at the Paseo de Susana Park in the capital city of Agaña (Hagåñta).

I found it at 4211 W Sahara. There seems to have been a business in the base of the statue, a drive through kiosk, maybe.
