Set in Stone

Be a part of Charlotte's history and participate in the commemorative brick and bench program. The "Set in Stone" program provides a unique opportunity for friends and supporters of the Museum to honor or memorialize a special individual or moment in time. These gifts directly support our mission and ensures we can continue to provide our popular programming and educational exhibits for generations to come.
