City of Martinsville, Illinois

Have you heard the news?  Martinsville is getting a new addition to the city park.  The Lois & Leanore Linn Charitable Foundation is giving the land formerly owned by the Linn sisters to the city of Martinsville to be used as a park.  The Foundation has also purchased the Reed property which borders the Linn land to include in the gift.  So the Festivals & Events Action Team, which was created during the Martinsville MAPPING process, has chosen as our first project to build an amphitheater on this property.

To raise funds for the structure, the committee has decided to offer commemorative bricks for donations of $100, $200, $300 or more, to be placed in a path that will wind through a botanical garden which will also be developed on the property.

There is an almost endless list of things that can be inscribed on the bricks (subject to the committee’s approval.)  Bricks can honor loved ones or special occasions, remember those who have died, acknowledge current businesses or those from the past, be inscribed with historical events, graduating classes, words of wisdom, scripture verses--anything you would like to see included in a memory path. This is a wonderful opportunity to be part of Martinsville’s future while remembering some of its past.

We are excited about our new high school! In association with the dedication of our new school, Martinsville On the Move is preparing a special Commemorative Package
