World Peace Sanctuary Peace Pole(s) - Wassaic, NY - Peace Poles on Waymarking.com

More from their website (visit link) : "The World Peace Sanctuary is nestled at the foot of the Berkshire Mountains, in the beautiful Harlem Valley scenic area of eastern Dutchess County - USA. The Sanctuary occupies 154 acres in Wassaic, New York, located just two hours north of New York City."

The grounds include "The Peace Path - A slated and winding path lined with Peace Poles on both sides, representing each of the U.N. member nations in the world. Each Peace Pole bears the Message in its native language. You will feel the presence of positive intentions put forth from the thousands of visitors who have walked on this majestic path. It is also a wonderful educational experience for adults and children alike. It creates an awareness and curiosity to learn more about the many countries and cultures that exist in the world."

The small building on site serves as the international headquarters of The World Peace Prayer Society, The Peace Pole Project and Peace Pals International.

Peace poles abound on this site! This waymark points to the main gigantic PP in the middle of the field. I have visited many peace pole locations, but have never seen this many in one place. Fantastic!

There is also a large metal globe, designed and crafted by New York artist Peter Woytuk, an exact replica of which is at the Mt. Fuji Sanctuary in Japan.

The Sanctuary is open M-F 9-5. We showed up on the weekend so too bad for us! Still enjoyed wandering the grounds and absorbing the message of "May Peace Prevail on Earth."
