Events like the Dayton Peace Accords 5k run help us connect to new people in the city. Thank you to all of our participants and sponsors. We'll see you at next year's run, April 17th, 2010.

Our volunteers are the heart and soul of the Museum. We come together from all faiths and backgrounds around our shared vision of a peaceful world and a peaceful community.

Governor Strickland greets Ralph at the Future Energy and Conservation Center, the Peace Museum's environmental branch. Located on the homestead farm of Museum founders Chris and Ralph Dull, many of Ohio's top elected officials have paid a visit.

The Dayton Peace Museum is committed to helping young people create a better future for their community. Youth lead forums on tolerance, diversity, and violence in Dayton.

The Dayton International Peace Museum celebrates the 1994 Dayton Peace Accords that ended the war in Bosnia, and represents Dayton as a city of peace all around the world.

Our activities

DIPM is also much more than an exhibit space. We're a vibrant organization of committed volunteers who are providing essential resources to a community struggling with urban violence. We offer a variety of skills-based peace education programming for children, older students, troubled youth, teachers, parents, pastors, counselors and others.
