BLUE STAR MEMORIAL MARKER AND GARDEN
The Blue Star Memorial Highway Marker and Memorial Garden are located at the Fountain Inn Police Department on Main Street. In 2006, the Fountain Inn Garden Club (FIGC) established this location by having the highway sign placed here along with a garden area. The Memorial Garden area is paved with engraved bricks which honor over 120 veterans from the Revolutionary War era to the present day conflicts of Iraq and Afghanistan. There are several plant species here in the garden, a bench, and flagpole. Our club members maintain this space on a regular basis as it is in prime location. We also have a dedication ceremony each November to add new bricks to the Memorial Garden area. If you are interested in having an engraved brick placed here in honor or memory of a family member or friend, please contact us. The present cost of a brick is $60.00.
Our next scheduled dedication event will be in early 2015. Please check back here for details!
