David Muir climbs to Statue of Liberty's torch for America 250

Original: America 250: David Muir climbs up to the Statue of Liberty's torch

ABC News anchor David Muir climbed up to the Statue of Liberty's torch as part of the network's coverage of America 250, the 250th anniversary of US independence in 2026. The rare access to the torch, which has been closed to the public since 1916, forms part of special programming marking the semiquincentennial.

Why now: America's 250th anniversary celebrations are generating special commemorative coverage, and access to the famously off-limits torch is rare.
