Each Memorial Day, the Museum places an order for 4 x 8 inch red engraved bricks to be placed in the Memorial Walk in front of the Museum. These bricks are to honor any Veteran that has been honorably discharged from any branch of the Armed Services. They do not have to be a resident of the Town of Haddam and the bricks will be placed by Memorial Day.
The bricks are $55.00 each. This is not a fund raiser and they are sold at cost. All orders must be received by April 1, 2019. Forms are available here by clicking on the link: Veterans brick order form. Additional forms are available at the Town Hall or by contacting Rick Annino at 860-345-4802. Please make checks payable to the Haddam Veterans Museum and mail to Rick Annino, 671 Little City Road, Higganum, Conn., 06441. You may also call Rick if you have any questions.

Could you please give us a close up picture of the brick so we can see what it reads please? Thanks
The last two times I went down there, the bricks were covered in snow. When the snow melts, we’ll post a close-up photo.
