"Crypt of Nations" Dedication, 1939
A new base for the "Peace" statue was unveiled in the American Legion Peace Garden in July, 1939. Also on this day, the "Crypt of Nations" - where soil taken from the nations represented in the Cultural Gardens is intermingled in the name of peace and brotherhood - was dedicated at the statue's base. The funnel where dignitaries deposited their soil can be seen in the foreground.
