Peace Pole Makers USA

The Peace Pole project was started by the World Peace Society, a non profit, member supported, non-sectarian organization dedicated to uniting people across the world through the universal saying: "May peace prevail on earth."

Founded in Japan in 1955 by Masahisa Goi, the World Peace Society has its world headquarters in New York, and is recognized as a non-governmental organization with the Department of Public Information at the United Nations.

Since 1985, Peace Poles in the United States have been made by the Peace Pole Makers USA, located in the woods of Northern Michigan.
