The Lewiston Peace Garden, located at 476 Center St., has definitely evolved over the years. Eva Nicklas from the Lewiston Council on the Arts explained how it began as a "funky gravel parking lot" and, after years of hard work, is now recognized as an International Peace Garden by the International Peace Garden Foundation.
"It's a beautiful green space that all of Lewiston is proud of," Nicklas said.
The Peace Garden contains a fountain, a stage, different kinds of flowering plants, and memory bricks throughout.
The garden has been host to various events over the years, including belly dancing, poetry readings, chainsaw artists, and fundraising events. But this summer will be different.
