Be a part of Long Island’s History! Give the gift of timelessness

• Your personalized brick, engraved with an inscription of your choice, will become a permanent part of an attractive Poetry Circle located between the Walt Whitman Birthplace and our beautiful Interpretive Center.
• Your donation will help us provide for the continuing restoration, furnishing, and preservation of one of the most significant historic homes in America.
• You will receive a certificate, suitable for framing, acknowledging your donation.
• Each brick may bear the name of an individual, business, couple, family, grandchild, graduate, lines from a favorite poem, or school, class, and year.
• Each 8″x4″ brick has space for three lines of text, and each 8″x8″ brick space for six. Each line holds as many as 14 characters, including spaces and punctuation.
• The top line of each may say “In Memory of” or “In Honor of” as a heading above the text. Honor a family member, friend, or favorite poet!
• Exact placement of the bricks and benches will be at the discretion of the Walt Whitman Birthplace Association, with first consideration given to a design that complements the appearance of the grounds. Bricks and benches will become the property of the Walt Whitman Birthplace Association.
