(KAIR)--A dream of several years for service organization Reinvent Horton and local area veterans is set to become a reality.

That- according to a release from Reinvent Horton announcing the construction of a Veterans Park and Museum in the Brown County city.

To make the project possible, the release explains that bricks, engraved to honor veterans by commemorating their service to the country, will be available for purchase, and will be placed in the Veterans Park, at 841 Central, near the location of the newly designated Veterans Memorial Museum.

The bricks, which carry a price tag of $75 each, will be a fundraiser to help build and maintain the Veterans Park and Veterans Museum. Each brick can be personalized with up to three lines of 20 characters each, including spaces.

According to the release, bricks will be installed throughout the current year, with a goal set to dedicate, and celebrate, the Museum and Park on Veterans Day 2023, which will be commemorated Saturday, November 11.

The release clarifies that veterans and their families do not need to reside in Horton in order to purchase a brick.

Application for the bricks will be ready for pickup March 1.
