The National Parks Service has announced that it will be shutting down the Statue of Liberty October 28 for at least one year. The Statue, whose interior was closed for a few years following the 9/11 attacks, will be shut down to renovate the interior. Liberty and Ellis Islands will both still be open but the Statue will be closed and at some points unable to been seen. This year will mark the Statue’s 125th anniversary and the NPS plans on having the Statue back open by it’s 126th anniversary. Find out why the Statue is going to be closed after the jump. @Julie1205
