Welcome to Perry's Victory
and International Peace Memorial

Perry's Victory and International Peace Memorial was established to honor those who fought in the Battle of Lake Erie, during the War of 1812, and to celebrate the long-lasting peace between Britain, Canada and the U.S. The Memorial, a Doric column, rising 352 feet over Lake Erie is situated 5 miles from the longest undefended border in the world.

Memorial Renovations

Come see the historic restoration of Perry's Victory and International Peace Memorial. The monument is currently closed to visitors, but there are a variety of activities and ranger programs occurring at our Visitor Center. The 352 foot column is a dedication to the lasting peace between the United States, Canada, and Great Britain. Its much anticipated renovations will not only preserve the memorial for generations to come, but symbolize our nation's commitment to respecting our legacy.
