"It is recognized as the world's most massive doric column. It has an observation deck, but it has been under renovation."

"Perry's Victory and International Peace Memorial commemorates the Battle of Lake Erie that took place near Ohio's South Bass Island, in which Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry led a fleet to victory in one of the most decisive naval battles to occur in the War of 1812. Located on an isthmus on the island, the memorial also celebrates the lasting peace between Britain, Canada, and the United States that followed the war," the Wikipedia says.

"A 352-foot (107 m) monument — the world's tallest Doric column — was constructed in Put-in-Bay, Ohio by a multi-state commission from 1912 to 1915 "to inculcate the lessons of international peace by arbitration and disarmament." The memorial was designed after an international competition from which the winning design by Joseph H. Freelander and A.D. Seymour was chosen.

"The Doric Column is the only international peace memorial in the United States National Park System and stands 47 feet taller than the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor. The upper deck platform is 12 feet higher than the statue of Liberty's torch."

"The 352-foot-tall Perry’s Victory & International Peace Memorial honors those who fought and died during the Battle of Lake Erie in 1813, as well as the War of 1812.

"Today, Perry’s Victory and International Peace Memorial serves as the only international peace memorial in the National Park System. It also celebrates the continued peace between Britain, Canada and the United States and the longest lasting peaceful border between two countries that were once at war, Canada and the United States."

"Erected between 1912 and 1915, the monument to Perry’s victory is one of the tallest monuments in the United States, appearing on the US quarter in 2013 (and Perry, of course, is the namesake of Commodore Perry IPA by the Great Lakes Brewing Co.) the Atlas Obscura reports.

"You can ascend over 350 feet to the top of the column to get a wide view of Lake Erie, as well as some of the Canadian islands to the north. The monument museum also has plenty more information about Perry, the battle and the War of 1812.

"There are three flags just outside the monument, one American, one Canadian, one British, all hung at the same height to symbolize the lasting peace between the countries. But thanks to the colossal column just behind them, no one will ever forget who the best fighter on Lake Erie was that day."

The observation deck is too high to hear noise from the streets of Put-in-Bay below, and the tourists seem to move in silence. Lake Erie appears even more massive from this height. It is peaceful and impressive.

"The 352-foot Doric column is the third-tallest monument in the National Park Service (only the Washington Monument and the Gateway Arch in St. Louis are taller) and the most iconic feature of South Bass Island," the Ohio Magazine reports.

Oh, and you can see Canada!"

"Great views and lots of history. Need reservation of time."

"Really nice NPS site, the observation tower is cool to go up to (but be warned it is super windy up there!) The 15 min movie in the visitor's center was very well done. We especially loved the musket demonstration by a few of the rangers."

"The monument is nice and the views from the platform are beautiful. Easy to find, simply look up and you can find it from the main drag."
