Buy-A-Brick Campaign

 

The Brookside History Museum has launched a unique and lasting way for donors to contribute to the renovation and continued operation of the Brookside History Museum at the Historic Burrell-Country House.  The Burrell-Country House is a rare piece of historic architecture.  A shotgun house built around the turn of the twentieth century, it represents a fine example of the shotgun style architecture that was at one time very prevalent across the South.  The house was donated by Joseph Graham in memory of his grandparents Jobo and Sue Country to the Town of Brookside in May 2009.  The Town decided to renovate the house and turn it into the long anticipated history museum.  Beginning in September 2009, the house will undergo series of renovation projects and be open to the public in April 2010.  You can contribute by purchasing a brick that will be used in constructing the walkways and garden space of the house.  You may wish to donate a brick in memory of a family member or put some special sentiment on it.  Bricks come in two sizes: 4x8 for $50 and 8x8 for $75.
