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 among Great 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.
During the summer of 2024 Perry’s Victory and International Memorial saw the completion of the project to rehabilitate and rebuild the aging seawall that protects the Memorial. Construction work begin back in April of 2022 and concluded in July of 2024.
