Join Perry’s Victory & International Peace Memorial as the park opens for the 2026 season!

While the monument and observation deck are inaccessible for rehabilitation during the 2026 and 2027 seasons, the Visitor Center and park grounds remain open. Visitors can enjoy the park film, participate in ranger-led programs, explore the small museum and exhibit space, complete the park's Junior Ranger program, browse the bookstore, and spend time outdoors on the park grounds.

We appreciate your understanding during this rehabilitation period and look forward to welcoming you to experience all that the park has to offer.
