My excitement about Peace Corps Park increased immensely with a recent visit to Madison, Wisconsin. Following a warm welcome dinner from the RPCVs of Wisconsin-Madison, I joined the Peace Corps Park design team and others at Quarra Stone Company to check out samples of the various types of granite being considered for the sculpted benches of the Park and the pavers for the site’s central plaza.

The Peace Corps Commemorative Foundation and the Museum of the Peace Corps Experience are pleased to announce an agreement that formalizes our strategic relationship and shared goal of establishing a physical presence in our nation’s capital dedicated to telling the story of the Peace Corps and the values that unite our community.

"A Walk in the Park," co-authored by Peace Corps Commemorative Foundation President Roger K. Lewis and Chief Advancement Officer Glenn A. Blumhorst, in the Spring 2023 issue of National Peace Corps Association’s WorldView magazine traces the history of Peace Corps Park – an initiative over 20 years in the making – from its Congressional charter, through the design concept proposals and approvals, to its envisioned impact.
