Paragould, Arkansas - Oldest American Statue Of Liberty Outside Of New York

After the original Statue of Liberty was dedicated in 1886, a replica went up in Brooklyn, and a few others overseas. (The Nazis destroyed several in France.) And then there's this one. Seven feet tall and made of bronze, it's known locally as the Paragould War Memorial, as it was made to honor Arkansas residents who served in World War I. It was dedicated on November 11, 1924, which makes it a lot less old than the original, but still pretty old. [RoadsideAmerica.com Team, 05/04/2007]
