Heritage Brick Ceremony


Heritage Brick Ceremony


We had a lovely and touching Heritage Brick installation on April 23, 2022. Fifteen Windsor residents were celebrated or memorialized at the brick patio at Central Street on a beautiful spring day for a crowd of about 60 people. View the photos!

The next installation ceremony will be in October. You can buy a Heritage Brick with your own custom message to honor a friend, co-worker, neighbor, family member, company or organization. To order your brick go to our Heritage Brick order form
