Statue of Liberty Barn Mural – Ogden Valley – Utah

The painting on this barn is derived from the Statue of Liberty, in the harbor of New York City. The Statue of Liberty is a colossal neoclassical sculpture on Liberty Island. The copper-clad statue, a gift to the United States from the people of France, was designed by French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi and its metal framework was built by Gustave Eiffel.

The statue of liberty is recognized as a universal symbol of freedom and democracy. The Statue of Liberty was dedicated on October 28, 1886. It was designated as a National Monument in 1924.

The statue is strongly associated with immigrants to America largely due to its proximity to Ellis Island, and one of the first things early immigrants saw upon arrival in New York City from Europe.

Welcome to Freedom - Indiana

Freedom is a small town in central Indiana, founded in 1834, with a population of approximately 1400. As a small rural farming community in the Midwest, its tempting to assign a special mythos to the founding of this community and the origin of its name, something based on the American values expressed in its constitution – freedom, liberty, justice, and the pursuit of happiness. However Freedom, derives its name from Joseph Freeland, an early settler of the community.  In its heyday, Freedom was a busy river port, shipping timber, grain, beaver pelts, and livestock up and down the White River on flatboats. These days, life is much quieter.
