Streetscape Project When complete, this streetscape will feature shops of old town Main Street.

Memorial Bricks

Additional Information

 The Oliver Springs Historical Society is pleased to announce that work has finally

begun in earnest on the last phase of our museum. This is the “Old Town

Streetscape” that, when completed, will offer a “Look down Main Street”, with business storefronts recreated to capture the essence of the town most of us grew

up in. The old Corner Drug Store, Theatre Fountain, Oliver Theatre, Oliver Springs

Banking Company, Sienknecht’s Store…and one of the highlights of the whole streetscape will be Main Street itself, paved with hundreds of commemorative bricks embossed with names of loved ones, benefactors, town characters, and leaders of days gone by. Several hundred have been purchased. Now that the project is moving toward completion, we have opened up the opportunity to purchase one or more bricks, each with the name of a cherished loved one

or deserving honoree. Although the price of the bricks has gone up in the interim, we are still offering these for the price of only $50.00 each, including shipping. This price includes three lines of text as seen in the example. Many families have bought one each for parents, grandparents, etc. What better way to honor the legacy of your loved one than by a commemorative brick with his or her name proudly displayed in our town museum? Placing it in the streetscape will ensure that generations to come will remember the name represented in your memorial.
