9/11 Museum to charge $20-25 for admission

It is also only accessible by boat trip. Even so, I think the price should be far less than what it is.

It is also in Jersey. That's a pretty good case for wanting to pay people to visit it.

Is the Statue in New York or New Jersey? The Statue of Liberty is on Liberty Island, federal property administered by the National Park Service, located within the territorial jurisdiction of the State of New York.

That's just what the government wants you to think.

Seriously though, I swear I heard years ago that Jersey and NYS got in a tiff over where Liberty Island sits and it was determined that it was in Jersey. Does anyone else remember that or am I going crazy?

Edit: Figured it out. NY v NJ 523 US 767 (1998) references a compact where by NYS would own the island and NJ the surronding waters. The suit determined that additional parts of the island that were created via fill belong to NJ, not NYS.

So it turns out I was right; that Liberty Island does sit in NJ, even if the island itself belongs to NYS.
