Monroe County Historical Society Memorial Paver-Brick:

 

Honor your parents, grandparents, military member, friends, family members and yourself by placing a paver-brick in the entrance sidewalk of one of Monroe County’s most respected museums, the Hollister-Parry House.  The Parry Museum is currently undergoing several major improvements including the installation of a broad welcoming sidewalk from the street to the museum entrance.  When completed, the sidewalk will be paved with commemorative bricks bearing the name and information of your choice.  This permanent memorial will be read by family and visitors for generations to come. 

 

In addition to placing your commemorative paver-brick in the Parry Museum sidewalk, you can elect to place it in front of the Monroe County Fairgrounds ticket booth.  The Monroe County Historical Society is sponsoring a restoration project by restoring the historical ticket booth at the Monroe County Fair Grounds.  Your commemorative bricks can be place around the Monroe County Fair Grounds ticket booth if you prefer.
