Established to honor those who fought in the Battle of Lake Erie, during the war of 1812, but in equal part it is here to celebrate the long-lasting peace between Britain, Canada and the U.S. Situated 5 miles from the longest undefended border in the world. Monument Construction began in October 1912, opened to the public on June 13 1915, and became a National Park Service Memorial in 1936.

A visit to the front of the Great Lakes Science Center will show our commitment to finding alternative sources of energy for our planet. Installed in 2006, our wind turbine is an example of one of the many ways we can reduce our environmental impact. Following the installation of the solar array in 2007, we are looking forward to being a positive example for Cleveland, Ohio and the entire region.
