    When my mother and I climbed to the crown in about 1948, the crown was open (no windows). I raced ahead of my mom and grabbed one of the vertical bars of the opening. I leaned out in order to read the tablet -- no mom or security to stop me --. The tablet reads July 4, 1776, per my memory. In 1956, I was the first in my High Scholl class to walk to the top of the Washington Monument. Today, at 85, I can still climb stairs, but many fewer.

    WHAT i REMEMBER MOST ABOUT THE CLIMB TO THE TOP WERE THE SEATS TO STOP AND TAKE A BREAK IN EVERY SO OFTEN. The cicular stairs have been redone I remember you could reach out and touch the "skin' now it looks much more enclosed.. how is that better ??? WE TOURED Washington DC for a 5 days (week), NewYork City and Philidelphia in 1976..our bicentenial tour.. 4 days new York and 3 in Philly We hit Philly first then NYC then DC and the museums were Great !! The only vacation I ever took with the Family Dad just wasn't into trips like that.. I do remember him telling us about this Fantastical breackfast pancake waffle place dozens of syruopts etc, found out later He was singing the praises of none other than what we now call IHOP.. He'd been to the International House of Pancakes in NYC when it was pretty new and impresive and here he was bringing his family nd well they just kinda dropped the ball.. I jst wasn't that impressive yrs later and well the International part wasn't there so to speak poor Dad he wanted it to be the majical place he'd seen it wasn't there anymore it was just a building that any waffle house could have called eh the house's house...

    I went with my family when I was a teen back in the early 1970's long before the renovations. It was a hot summer's day and the thermometer at the site said that the temperature inside the statue was 120 degrees! Still we made it up the narrow shakey looking stairs, not like the nice ones in the video that they have today. It was very very slow moving with people crammed in front and in back of you. I remember one of the windows in the crown had a crack in it. Still all in all it was a memorable experience though one that my very claustrophobic today self would ever do! It's not for the faint of heart.

      Hi 👋! That's exciting! I definitely recommend the high line park and "the Summit One Vanderbilt" where you can see maginificent views of both the empire state and the chrysler building. As far as places to eat, 2nd Ave deli has amazing pastrami. If you're into steak with delicious food and a rich history, definitely hands down Keens Sreakhouse (Babe Ruth and Teddy Roosevelt ate there). We made a video of NYC cafés if you're curious - we love Ladurée in soho. Hope this helps!

    I've always wanted to go to NYC and visit the Statue of Liberty. But, I live near St. Louis, MO, and have to been to the top of the Gateway Arch. I'm so glad there are elevators to get to the top of the Arch. I'm not sure if I could hike all the way to the top of the Statue of Liberty. Thanks for sharing your video. You have a new subscriber.

    (All buildings sway in the wind, some more than others. I looked up Statue of Liberty- it sways 3" in 50mph winds, and stands 111' high from feet to top of head. That is roughly twice as much movement as you would expect in a tall slender office building with the same wind.)
    This was a very interesting video. I've always been curious what it was like on the inside, your video shows it very well.

    Anyone remember when u could go to the torch? I think they closed it after the renovations during 86 or 7. I've never been to N.Y. but it surprises me that the steps r less than many traditional lighthouses that I've visited.

      @@aKnightlyStory I'd imagine so. Did you happen to notice any "off limit* or "authorized personnel" signs that may have lead to further heights and narrow paths? I love lighthouses, but I hate heights, and it really freaks me out on my descent down as others make their way up and along the narrow and winding stairways alongside me. I can only imagine how this would make me feel. Thanks for sharing your video! : )

    What a great video...brought back a flood of memories. I climbed up to the crown in 1982 as a 20 year old (I'm 62 now). I completely remember that narrow, one way up/one way down staircase to climb from the pedestal. We were only allowed to stay in the crown for certain amount of time (can't remember that part). Also, some of the crown's windows were actually missing and you felt the wind blowing inside. The other part I remember (laughingly) is if someone ahead you on the staircase "tooted", you got to bathe in the fragrance LMAO! 🤣

    Obviously its original golden color is the prettiest, but it would only look that way for a couple months, tops. Then the oxidation would begin again and it would be a less pretty brownish color for decades until it reaches its full patina again. It would be far too much work and very stupid to clean her once every couple months. So her beautiful green patina is certainly what’s best.
