For those interested in honoring the important people, pets, events and/or companies in their lives, Montour Trail offers a lasting memorial of Honor Bricks.
Some of the MTC Friends groups are offering this memorial. You can choose from several brick sizes that will be laser-etched with your personal message, forming a blackened inscription that will not deteriorate over time (unlike sandblasting). Clip art images also can be etched.
The basic brick color is English red, which has a slight orange tint to it. A mini remembrance brick keepsake (a copy of the ordered brick) is available as well.
To order, download the order form on this page, include a check for your donation, and mail it to your chosen Friends group at Montour Trail Council.
Time Frame
We will place all orders received twice per year, unless otherwise specified. Our first offering starts immediately and closes on Feb. 1, 2025. Bricks will be set into place in late spring and early summer. The second order period closes on Sept. 1, 2025, and the bricks will be placed in the fall as weather permits.
