Question About the Commemorative Bricks?

Commemorative Bricks will be placed at Ft. Johnston by Memorial Day. The exact date is dependent on a variety of factors: when the bricks arrive, when volunteers and city employees can install them and weather conditions. If you purchased a brick, we will send you an email when the bricks are installed. If you would like to purchase a brick, sales re-open October 1st.
