General Grand Chapter Peace Garden Pilgrimage

The Most Worthy Grand Matron and Most Worthy Grand Patron will be making a pilgrimage to the International Peace Garden near Minot, North Dakota, on August 14th and 15th, 2026. All members of Eastern Star and their guests are welcome to join them for this event. Event information, accommodations, registration and other information is provided below.

The International Peace Garden is on the border of the state of North Dakota of the United States and the province of Manitoba of Canada. The construction of the Chapel of Peace at the Peace Garden was made possible by the joint effort of the members of Order of the Eastern Star of the United States and Canada. The OES landmark of the Chapel of Peace was the primary project of the 33rd Triennium of the Order. It was dedicated in 1970 and was completed in 1972. The Chapel is constructed from Manitoba limestone and inscribed with quotes of peace from international leaders. The Chapel is non-denominational and arrangements for the use of the Chapel for appropriate services can be made. The Peace Chapel is the only building straddling the U.S. and Canadian Border and is surrounded by beautiful gardens and fountains (peacegarden.com).
