The Friends of Highland Recreation Area are doing a spring installation of Commemorative Brick Pavers in the growing circle at the Haven Hill Gatehouse in the days prior to the annual Redbud Reveal season-opening event on May 10, 2025. Create a long-lasting tribute to a friend, family member, or a beloved pet with an engraved brick paver permanently installed in front of the historic Haven Hill Gatehouse at Highland State Recreation Area.

The site of the Commemorative ring is on the grounds of the Haven Hill Gatehouse, which was the former entrance to Edsel and Eleanor Ford’s historic estate. The peaceful garden location is ideal for quiet personal reflection and thoughts of loved ones. Your chosen wording will be engraved on a personalized brick paver that will become a permanent part of Haven Hill’s rich history.

For a donation of $60.00 your brick will be a wonderful and unique gift and lasting legacy. Bricks are 4”x 8” and can be engraved with 3 lines with up to sixteen letters and spaces per line (content is subject to approval). Some special symbols are available, so if you would like a heart or cross or something else, please consult with us.

All proceeds from the brick sales will be used to support the ongoing efforts of the Friends of Highland Recreation Area to renovate and repurpose the historic Ford buildings, maintain the commemorative brick circle and grounds, and to perform public events. Donations are tax deductible. Complete and mail your application form, available at the FOHRA website www.fohravolunteers.org/bricks, and include a check or money order payable to Friends of Highland Recreation Area.

Please place orders prior to March 21 to help us get them in place before the May 10 Redbud Reveal event for you to enjoy that day.

Thank You Sincerely,

Friends of Highland Recreation Area
