This is an impressive monument erected in recognition of nearly two centuries of peace and goodwill shared by the United States and Canada. It was built in the classic Doric style of architecture, towers 67' high, and spans our common border. Stroll freely between the two countries over the surrounding 40-acre grounds; they are beautifully manicured and planted seasonally with blooming flowers. Every year, on the second Sunday in June, thousands of US and Canadian citizens, mostly children, come together to exchange flags as a symbol of our friendship. The Peace Arch is located in the city of Blaine right at the border crossing.
