Engraved Brick Campaign
The Chatham Historical Society is pleased to announce a rare opportunity for you to leave your legacy, honor your loved ones, or pay homage to your own history while becoming a part of our Atwood House Campaign for Museum Excellence. You can help us pave the way to success with the purchase of engraved bricks inscribed with the personal message of your choice. Each brick will become a permanent part of our new main walkway forming an attractive entrance to the Museum complex.
Your help will not only provide vital support for the most extensive Museum expansion and improvement project ever undertaken by the Society, but also become a lasting personal tribute to commemorate family members, friends, business associates — even yourself– or special events such as births, weddings or anniversaries.
