Today we decided to visit the International Peace Gardens in Salt Lake City. It was quite apparent that this garden hasn't had much attention and hasn't been maintained well. However, you could see that at one time is was an awesome place to visit. When I started to put this together, I found that there are plans to update this garden and get it back to its former glory.
"The International Peace Gardens, located on the bank of the Jordan River in Salt Lake City, was founded as a citizenship project and as a lesson in peace and understanding between nations. The endeavor is evidence that people from many lands can unite in building a monument to peace.
Part of Utah history, the garden was conceived in 1939 and dedicated in 1952. The International Peace Garden was conceived in 1939 and dedicated in 1952, the International Peace Gardens has welcomed tens of thousands of travelers from every corner of the globe, including exchange partners from Salt Lake's several Sister Cities. The project was brought to fruition by Utah citizen Mrs. Otto (Ruey) Wiesley, working with the Salt Lake City SUperintendent of Parksk the mayor, and the Salt Lake Council of Women."
