Woodford County Historical Society

​

Engraved bricks are currently available for purchase. An engraved brick is the perfect way to "leave your mark" on Woodford County history, or to memorialize or honor someone else.  These bricks also make great gifts for that hard-to-buy-for person who "has everything." 

Each brick measures 4"X8"X2½" and is an attractive antique red color which closely matches our brick building.  The engraved bricks will be placed at the base of the flagpole located at the southeast corner of our property at 121 Rose Hill in Versailles. 

 

We require a minimum donation of $100 per brick. You may make a larger donation if you wish.

NOTE: The Woodford County Historical Society is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Donations are tax-deductible as permitted by law.

How Your Donation will be Used
After deducting the cost of the brick, the engraving, and installation, your donation will be used to continue the programs and activities of the Woodford County Historical Society, including the daily operations of the Society's library and museum.

Certificate of Ownership
Each brick comes with a special Certificate of Ownership. The certificate will be sent to you or to the person you designate.

How To Make Your Brick Donation

To order, print and complete an Engraved Brick Order Form with the information for each brick and return the form with your donation to the Woodford County Historical Society, 121 Rose Hill, Versailles, KY 40383.  You can return the form by mail, in person, or drop it in the mail slot on the Rose Hill door.  You may also stop by the Historical Society where a volunteer will assist you in filling out your form at the museum.

Each brick inscription may have up to three (3) lines of text with up to 20 characters per line.  Spaces and punctuation count as characters.  Below is an example of a brick engraving:

 

In Memory Of
John J. Crittenden

1786-1863​​​

On Thursday, September 24, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. we will have our annual brick program. Deadline for orders is Friday August 7, 2026. The donation per brick continues to be $100.
