Crowning Glory

After being closed for "security reasons" since 9/11/01, the Statue of Liberty's Crown will soon be accessible to visitors, according to an announcement made by Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar on this morning's Today Show.

The Secretary told Matt Lauer that the crown will be open initially for about 30 visitors an hour on July 4. He said that there would be a lottery system in place to determine who would be lucky enough to make the 350-step journey up a narrow, winding staircase to the top of Lady Liberty.

As we learn more we'll keep you posted right here on this blog.
