Legacy Stones
Legacy Stones are solid granite stones inscribed with the names of persons whom we wish to recognize and honor with a profound and lasting tribute.
Placed on the Plaza Walkways, Legacy Stones are 12”x12”x2” grey granite and can be purchased by anyone for Veterans or non-Veterans, living or deceased, from Wisconsin or elsewhere. There is a listing in the Gift Shop to help visiting guests locate a specific stone. Registry Books that hold the stories, letters, pictures and more of each person or organization honored with a stone are located in the Welcome Center. We invite you to read their stories. It is the Stone combined with the pages of The Registry that creates the true legacy.
Legacy Stones are available for a tax-deductible donation of $495 until December 31. Please note: The price will increase to $520 on January 1, 2025.
Inscription note: Each stone will accommodate up to 20 letters, numbers and spaces on each of three lines. No punctuation or symbols are allowed.
