Our Buy a Brick fundraiser is a wonderful opportunity to become part of the Matilda Joslyn Gage Center. Commemorate an important woman in your life, a special person who inspired you, or share your favorite social justice quote. The scrolling quotes above are examples of engraved bricks supporters have already purchased. Plain bricks will honor those whose contributions to social change are anonymous or have been forgotten and lost in history as well as those in future generations yet to come. The bricks will be used to build a patio and path through Matilda's Garden starting in Summer 2025.
