Commemorate a historic anniversary with a personalized brick
The first deadline for brick orders has passed. If you would like to be part of the second order and installation, slated for fall 2011, you may submit an order now.
2011 marks the sesquicentennial, or the 150th, anniversary of the beginning 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 bricks will be placed within the NEW outdoor Civil War Journey: Raid on Indiana experience.
These bricks provide you a unique way to show your support of Conner Prairie's remembrance of the Civil War and the new Civil War Journey project. A personalized brick can be engraved in memory or honor of someone special, given as a birthday gift, or in recognition of any other milestone.
Click on the brick to the left to purchase your commemorative brick. If you prefer to mail in your order, download the order form.
