The International Peace Garden is a 3.65 sq. mi. (9.46 km²) park located on the international border between Canada and the United States, in the state of North Dakota and the province of Manitoba. Established on July 14, 1932, the park plants over 150,000 flowers each year. Main features of the garden include an 18-foot (5.5-m) floral clock display, fountains, a chime, and twin 120 foot (37 m) concrete towers straddling the border with a peace chapel at their base. The chapel walls are inscribed with notable quotes about peace. The state of North Dakota has as one of its nicknames The Peace Garden State, and places this motto on its license plates. Some building remains of the World Trade Center attacks of September 11, 2001 have been placed in part of the garden.
