Re: New York City

That page can easily be corrected!

It's a common misconception.

Happy reading!

Re: New York City

The statue is situated in Upper New York Bay on Liberty Island, south of Ellis Island. Both islands were ceded by New York to the federal government in 1800. As agreed in an 1834 compact between New York and New Jersey that set the state border at the bay's midpoint, the original islands remain New York territory despite their location on the New Jersey side of the state line. Land created by reclamation at Ellis is New Jersey territory.

Its there in black and white....

I read about the controversy after we had visited. Still not positive one way or the other whether everything was done in good faith by the exhibitors. But the value of the exhibit IMO makes it worth a visit anyway. If I have a chance I will probably go again - it was that powerful.

:r. I always forget the Bills. Amazing how NY has 3 football teams, two of which share a home stadium in NJ and NJ has 0 teams. Now I don't care who you are, there is something wrong with that picture!

But it's been so long, it just the norm now. :tu
