Birmingham Museum Expands Brick Paver Program

BIRMINGHAM, MI — Residents that might have missed out on buying a commemorative engraved brick paver at the Birmingham Museum’s historic Hill School bell site have another chance in September.

Pavers are available around the bell for $100 and $250. The pavers are perfect to commemorate an event, acknowledge an important person, or recognize a special anniversary. Buyers will have the opportunity to pick wording for their pavers and also select the site.

Pavers are available on a first come, first served basis. The master map of remaining available pavers is at the museum. Residents are encouraged to check with museum staff about final availability.
