Mural at the Chamizal National Monument

Overlooking the Rio Grande and Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, the Chamizal National Memorial is the only national park that flies the flags of both the U.S. and Mexico. These serve as reminders of the 100-year land dispute between the two nations, which was resolved with the Chamizal Convention in 1963. Today, museum exhibits celebrate the peaceful resolution with historical displays and memorabilia.
