How did Freemasonry influence the design of the Statue of Liberty?
Historical connections between Freemasonry, Fort Wood, and the Statue of Liberty are noted in historical publications compiled by the Masonic Service Association of North America. Fraternal interest in the monument also extended into the twentieth century, such as a 1918 World War I war bond campaign photograph titled "The Human Statue of Liberty" composed of 18,000 men, which is held in the United Grand Lodge of England archives.
The available sources do not specify the exact extent to which Masonic symbolism or philosophy directly influenced the design choices made by the statue's creators.
