Brunswick Historical Society Still
Taking Orders For Memorial Bricks

There is still an opportunity to order Memorial Bricks to be installed at the Veterans Memorial Park, located on Route 2 in Eagle Mills. Applications for the purchase are available at the Society headquarters, the Town Hall or the Brunswick Library. Any questions regarding the purchase or installation of the brick should be directed to President Tracy Broderick at president@bhy-ny.org (please write "Memorial Bricks" in the subject line). You may also call the Society with any inquiries and leave a message.
Please note: Bricks are installed when a total of six (6) orders have been received from the public. If you have already placed an order and installation has not yet occurred, it is due to this policy and we regret any inconvenience.
