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