About Chamizal National Memorial

Chamizal National Memorial sits along the international border in El Paso, Texas. The grounds commemorate a century-long boundary disagreement between the United States and Mexico that was settled through diplomacy. Visitors can walk the green space, see a sculpture of Mexican president Benito Juárez, explore art from the borderlands in the Franklin G. Smith Gallery, and attend theater performances, including folklorico ballet. The park also runs a Junior Ranger program for young visitors.
