This 1995 statue is located on the bank of the Mississippi River, in Waldenberg Park on the River Walk. It is of white Carrara marble and is created by local sculptor Franco Allesandrini.
On one side, Miss Liberty faces the mighty Mississippi, while an immigrant family faces the French Quarter, where most immigrants lived when they came to this area.
