16″ x 10″ engraved Paving Stones at the Franco Center’s Memorial Terrace

The Memorial Terrace, greeting our guests at the front entrance to our building, is a lasting way to honor a special person in your life.

The Memorial Terrace at the Franco Center is a wonderful way to honor our loved ones. It is located on the right of the large front staircase at our Cedar Street entrance, raised about one foot above the sidewalk level. It serves as a gathering place for the public to view the names of the donors and their loved ones, greeting all guests to the Franco Center and all passers-by.

The Memorial Terrace at the Franco-American Heritage Center features stone pavers in 4 different sizes. If you would like to honor someone special in your life or if you would like to buy a memorial gift for a deceased parent, friend, sibling, child or other loved one, please consider one of the following commemorative gifts in their name. Please note that we engrave the pavers once or twice per year (depending on demand) and not with each individual purchase.
