One Step to Greatness on the Path to History
One of our country's most important anniversaries is upon us. 2011 marks the Sesquicentennial of the Civil War. One way Conner Prairie is honoring this anniversary is with the creation of a walkway made of personalized commemorative bricks. These unique bricks are a wonderful way for you to support Conner Prairie's remembrance of the Civil War. Or, it can simply be a great way to honor your family birthdays, graduations or any other milestones.
