Wigwam
Garden Memorial Walkway
Remembering those who have passed. . .

As a way to honor those who have come before us, the
Historical Society has created a Memorial Walkway in the garden behind
the Wigwam. Engraved bricks can be purchased and placed in memory of
deceased Historical Society members, or for those who resided in Amherst
for at least a portion of their lives.
Thanks to the efforts of the Amherst Garden Club, the walkway is
surrounded by historic and beautifully maintained plantings - a serene
spot to remember the many who contributed to preserving Amherst's past
and to making it the wonderful community it is today.
The
Historical Society kicked off this walkway project by placing bricks for
the last five Board members who have passed - Charlie Duval, Bonnie
Struss, Dick Martini, Helen Rowe and Bill Wichman. We hope you'll consider memorializing someone special
with a tax-deductible
gift of $100 per brick. All proceeds will go toward the maintenance and
preservation of the Historical Society's two museums and the artifacts they
house. Engraved bricks will be installed in groups throughout the non-frozen
year.
To order by mail, complete the Brick Order Form
and send it to the address on the form with a check made payable to
HSANH. To order electronically, email the pertinent information on the
form (or attach a scan) to historicalsociety@hsanh.org,
and pay with the link below. Your order will be
acknowledged, and you will be notified when your brick is placed.
Thanks for helping us in our mission of remembering those who have
passed.
