The crown of the Statue of Liberty will re-open to tourists on July 4, the Interior Department said Friday. The crown was closed after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, for safety and security reasons. Since the closing, tourists have been able to visit other parts of the statue.
The federal government planned to give America "a special gift" by re-opening the crown, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said. Access to the crown will be limited to 10 people at a time, who are guided by a National Park Service ranger. The Statue of Liberty will be open for the next two years, then closed again for "work on a long-term solution that will improve safety and security permanently," according to the U.S. Department of the Interior.
