Ancient Burying Ground Association Brick Walkway Fund Raiser.

The Ancient Burying Ground (ABG) is Hartford’s oldest tangible, and yet most fragile, resource, and your help is needed to continue its Preservation for future generations.
Recently a new feature has been added to its landscape, a memorial brick walkway. This walkway is designed to guide visitors into our historic burying ground from the front gate on Main St., up to the sentinel-like statue of Rev. Samuel Stone who co-founded Hartford with the Rev. Thomas Hooker in 1634.

Supporting organizations, businesses and individuals alike are encouraged to participate. You may wish to memorialize a special person, date or event. You may want to acknowledge a local ancestor, whether already memorialized in the ABG or without a visible marker. Are you related to any of the original proprietors of Hartford? Your inscription will become part of the Ancient Burying Ground, for you or a family member to find on a future visit to Hartford.

Your brick will be entered as part of our growing memorial to Hartford’s first layer of history.

This venture started in 2006 and has already had its first submissions installed near by the Rev. Stone’s Statue. ‘Alse Young CTWitch – Hanged 1647,’ ‘This way to Leete stone,’ ‘Deming Family 1635 to present,’ ‘The Hartford Insurance Company,’ are just a few of the creative ideas already placed in the walkway.

Each brick is custom engraved allowing up to 3 lines of wording with 15 characters per line (spaces, comas, dashes, periods, etc. all count as a character). One contract order per brick.

One line = $50.00 Two lines = $75.00 Three lines - $100
