What a wonderful story! I so well remember her when my family was arriving by ship into NY harbor after being stationed overseas in the military. What a vision that was! I must admit that I never noticed her foot or the chains, so your story was a treat!! Thanks!!
When I was in 5th grade (Irvington NY) we visited on a class field trip. Mostly I remember how HOT and sticky it was that day. And how dark she was inside.

You are definitely the cool grandma!!
A little history lesson we seem to want to forget. Sticks when it’s built in LEGO. We had fun.
Love the photo with your grandchildren - hope you're having a wonderful visit!
Thanks for sharing the story and Lego kit. Looks like you’re creating wonderful memories with your grandchildren and experiencing joie de vivre.
I am—her message seems more important than ever.
Great story and lovely recreation with the grandkids ! 😊
Seemed like the perfect message to remind us who we have sometimes aspired to be….
Yes!
She makes me teary…so many broken promises.
