Little Lady Liberty in Niagara Falls, New York

Symbolizing liberty throughout the land, Little Lady Liberty is right before the entrance to the Rainbow Bridge and customs entrance to Canada from Niagara Falls, NY.   

This historical marker was constructed by the Boy Scouts of America in 1951  and was apart of a nationwide movement for Americans to be reminded of how precious their liberty is.  "The statues were installed around the country by Scouts and other volunteers during the 1950's as part of the Crusade to Strengthen the Arm of Liberty. Numbering over 200 individual statues the Liberty Sisters can be found in 39 states and territories in the US." 

Both the Canadian and American flag were present on each side of the statue, representing a welcoming aspect to the neighboring countries — in front of a duty-free store.
