International Peace Gardens



Take a day trip!





Looking for a "one tank trip" close to home?  Why not drive to the International Peace Gardens at the Manitoba - North Dakota border near Boissevain?

It is located on Manitoba Highway #10 and is just about an hour south of Brandon.


The Peace Gardens are more than floral displays. They also showcase artifacts commemorating our history of friendship and partnership across the border, including concrete peace towers symbolizing our togetherness.

Steel girders from New York and the 911 tragedy are in a memorial display there as well.

This is a popular site for school tours and is a welcoming tourist stop. Plan for 90 minutes or longer to visit. If you plan to include lunch double your time allotted.
