The Brick Store Museum, Kennebunk, Maine

In the year 1825—when most structures were constructed of wood—prominent Kennebunk merchant William Lord used local brick to build his distinctive store on Main Street. That building still stands and now houses your Brick Store Museum.

So what better way to create a lasting impression than with your very own personalized, engraved brick?

These handsome, wire-cut red clay bricks make great gifts and are a wonderful way to commemorate special occasions, pay a tribute, or honor loved ones.

The first batch of custom bricks representing all those ordered in 2007 has already arrived from the manufacturer and is awaiting installation. Significant early snowfall and coordination with construction ongoing next door to our property precluded a 2007 installation, but all bricks (including all new orders) will be installed as early as weather permits in spring 2008 on pathways throughout The Brick Store Museum’s courtyard, a vibrant gathering place and the site of many events and educational programs. Imagine...your brick will be viewed by generations of residents and visitors!

Attractively priced at only $100 apiece, all brick proceeds benefit the Museum’s Connecting Generations Capital Campaign to restore the museum’s 19th-century building complex and create a better future for preserving the past. The Museum is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization, so brick sponsorship is tax-deductible to the full extent allowed by law. Carry on a tradition. Leave your legacy in brick today!

Make a donation to the Connecting Generations Capital Campaign at the Benefactor level ($1,000) or above and receive a complimentary brick!
