Linn County Historical Museum Trust Inc.

The Linn County Historical Museum Trust will be creating a “Heritage Courtyard” in the area outside the front entrance to the museum. The Linn County Parks and Recreation Department will be constructing a wall and two benches to create an attractive ‘outdoor room’ and to provide a gathering place where visitors can sit and rest. The purpose of the Trust is to raise money from which the earned interest is used to benefit the museum and the Moyer House.  Toward that purpose, we will be sellingheritag4e bricks that will be placed on the wall. This courtyard will celebrate families and individuals who came to the Willamette Valley by 1950 and showcase the rich heritage and history in which we pride ourselves.

You may order a brick, or bricks, that will be etched with the names of family friends or loved ones. The grid on the order form below shows three lines with a maximum of thirteen characters per line to designate names with or without the dates of arrival. Each brick will cost $100.00 and is tax deductible.

Thank you for your support.
