The City of Derby and its Greenway Committee have restored the historic National Humane Alliance Fountain as the center point of its Hall of Fame Plaza.

The fully landscaped mini-park features the functioning fountain surrounded by a commemorative brick plaza that includes the Derby Hall of Fame as a “Gateway” entrance to the very successful Derby Greenway.

The Fountain has been a part of Derby history for more than a century, and the city is offering everyone an opportunity to create a personal legacy that will add to the allure of the Fountain and Greenway for generations to come. You have the opportunity to purchase a brick(s) that will be engraved to commemorate a personal message. Bricks are a great way to memorialize a loved one, honor a recent achievement, celebrate a friend or relative, or leave a personal observation or reflection. The bricks make great gifts!

This restoration of the Fountain and creation of the Hall of Fame plaza began with the relocation of the Fountain to the Greenway in June, 2006 and was completed with a formal dedication on Labor Day weekend in 2007. The original lion’s heads spigots were recast in South Dakota and re-mounted on the Fountain. The surrounding brick plaza includes benches and trees along with more than 500 bricks that may be purchased for engraving.

The bricks are being sold in either a 4”x8” size or 8”x8”.
The smaller brick can include up to three lines of text with 18 characters per line.
The larger brick can accommodate up to six lines of text with 18 characters per line.
The smaller bricks cost $55 and the larger ones are $110.

Don’t wait to place your order as the number of bricks on the plaza is limited, and over 350 have already been sold.

Logos: You may select a stock logo for your brick from the drop down menu on the second page of the order form for an additional fee of $8.00.
If you would like to add a custom logo to your brick, please upload your graphic on the second page of the order form. Logos should be black and white renderings in a high resolution picture file. If the image is very intricate, the fee may be $50.00 for the setup fee.
We will contact you to let you know if we can reproduce your custom logo and if the additional fee applies. Please hold off sending in your check until we notify you.
