Perry's Victory and International Peace Memorial

Perry's Victory and International Peace Memorial commemorates the Battle of Lake Erie during the War of 1812. This battle was one of the most decisive battles during the conflict. The memorial has been the world's tallest Doric column since workers completed building it in 1915. It is the final resting place for six soldiers killed during the battle, and it also honors Oliver Hazard Perry, who led the troops. Three of the officers buried at this site near Put-in-Bay, Ohio, are Americans, while the other three are British. Event organizers regularly use the area surrounding the memorial to host various activities.
