The John Rogers Studio and Museum photo of John Rogers Studio and Museum bricks with words walk your way into history
Granite Heritage Restoration Walkway

The Historical Society has recently announced its Heritage Restoration Walkway to the public.   The granite walkway will link the John Rogers Studio to the other buildings on the Society's Oenoke Ridge site.  The long-lasting white granite blocks can be inscribed as the donors indicate, and may include up to three lines, eighteen characters per line (including spaces).  The cost is $150 per brick, and all funds raised by the sale of the bricks will benefit the Society's efforts to restore and preserve the 1878 Studio, its sculptures and the surrounding grounds.

We encourage you assist in developing this block walkway leading to the Rogers Studio.   It will be developed in phases and eventually connect all the Historical buildings on the property - saving both the grounds and the interiors from wear.  It is a wonderful way to remember a current or former loved New Canaanite or family and make a lasting contribution to our town's history.   All contributions are tax deductible.  To receive your form, visit the Town House office, call 203-966-1776 or email the Society at newcanaan.historical@snet.net.
