Be a part of Long Island’s history!

Your personalized brick, engraved with an inscription of your choice, will become a permanent part of an attractive Poetry Circle located between the Walt Whitman Birthplace and our beautiful Interpretive Center. 

Your donation will help us provide for the continuing restoration, furnishing and preservation of one of the most significant historic homes in America.

You will receive a certificate, suitable for framing, acknowledging your donation.

Each brick may bear the name of an individual, couple, family, business, or school, class, and year.

Each 8” x 4” brick has space for three lines of text, and each 8” x 8” brick space for six. 

The top may say “In Memory of” or “In Honor of” as a heading above the text. Honor a family member, friend, or favorite poet!

Exact placement of bricks and benches will be at the discretion of the Walt Whitman Birthplace Association, with first consideration given to a design which complements the appearance of the grounds. Bricks and benches become the property of the Walt Whitman Birthplace Association.
