United Nations Peace Plaza, Peace monument plaza in Independence, United States.

United Nations Peace Plaza is a memorial site in Independence featuring a central bronze statue titled Girl with Dove created by sculptor Tom Corbin. The plaza includes landscaped gardens and pathways designed for visitors to walk through and reflect.

The site was unveiled in 1997 and formally dedicated by United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan in 2003. This recognition established it as an important place for honoring peacekeeping efforts.

This memorial serves as a global site honoring those who served in United Nations Peacekeeping Forces worldwide. Visitors come here to reflect on the human cost of international peace efforts.

The plaza is accessible year-round and free to visit at any time. The site offers plenty of space to walk around and spend time reflecting on the memorial.

A smaller version of the statue stands at United Nations Headquarters in New York, creating a connection between two important global locations. This link makes the plaza part of a larger story about peacekeeping across the world.
