Actually, the Statue of Liberty is within the state boundaries of New Jersey; it's on Liberty Island, which is exit 14C off of the NJ Turnpike. It's at the entrance of New York Harbor, yes, but is on the Jersey side of the harbor. Technically the statue is in New Jersey.
We have a bunch in South Carolina....Charleston, Fort Sumter, Myrtle Beach, a lighthouse whose name I can't remember...those are just a few off the top of my head. I just moved here from New Jersey in August, so I'm not real familiar with all of the landmarks yet.
ADDED: Hey, people, who cares that the statue was given to the US as a gift by France? We know that already...and it is a fact that people from all over the world come to see the statue, and that the US Park Service CHARGES ADMISSION to see the statue, so that makes it a TOURIST ATTRACTION.
Like it or not!
And whoever said that the US gave France the Eiffel Tower in return for the Statue of Liberty is reading out of the wrong history book! Gustav Eiffel was the designer of both the Eiffel Tower (hence the name) AND the internal support structure for the Statue of Liberty.

The Statue of Liberty is both a landmark and a tourist attraction.
Here in Massachusetts we have many landmarks that have become tourist attractions. After all our history goes back to 1620 when the Pilgrims first landed here. Also, there are many places that relate to the Revolutionary war.

The Statue of Liberty was given by france. Not men't for a tourist attraction
I have the Hollywood Sign. Built to attract potential home owners to the area. Not for tourists or the entertainment industry, who use it today.

The statue of liberty was not put there to be a tourist attraction. It was a gift from France to welcome all visitor, immigrants and people returning to the america's. But I'm in Florida, so our whole state is a tourist attraction.
