Muir Peace Garden

 Dedicated in 1998 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Manchester College's Peace Studies Program (the first in the United States) the Muir Peace Garden was named for Gladdys Muir, founder of the Peace Studies Program. Funds were raised by alumni and friends of the College and the garden was designed by alumnus Dan Krall, a landscape architect professor from Cornell University.

Since Professor Gladdys Muir had a strong interest in contemplation and quiet meditation, the garden was designed as a place where individuals could step away from the often hectic pace of their lives, spend some time in quiet reflection in a beautiful natural setting, and return to their work renewed and rejuvenated.

The Muir Peace Garden is often incorporated by guests into their events. It is also ideal for smaller, outdoor weddings.
