Newfane Veterans Memorial Park

NEWFANE’S VETERANS MEMORIAL PARK

Newfane’s park honors veterans and service members from all six branches of the US military (Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Space Force and Coast Guard) including National Guard and Reserves who have lived in Newfane.  The park is directly south of Town Hall on Main Street.  We invite you to stop by your park and visit.

Memorial parks have three purposes.

-To honor those who are in the Armed Forces protecting our country. 

-To remember those who served and gave their all for their country.

-To teach the next generations that our freedoms have never been free or cheap but purchased by the blood of patriots from the Revolutionary War into the future.

MEMORIAL BRICKS

We currently feature Memorial Bricks in two separate sections of the park:

     -    In the first area, near a bronze plaque adjacent to Main Street, bricks display the names of Newfane veterans killed in action, died in service, or missing in action.

* Two small sections adjacent to the KIA/DIS/MIA bricks contain non-memorial bricks of individuals, groups, and businesses who made significant contributions to the park.

    -    The outer perimeter of the path surrounding the park’s central monument contains the bricks bearing the names and information of service members who honorably served and lived in Newfane.  The bricks are laser engraved and allow for up to three lines of text and 20 characters per line for text only.  If you would like to include a clip art you're limited to 15 characters per line.

The number of available spaces for memorial bricks is getting smaller so the Town of Newfane has started to begin planning a possible expansion to accommodate future bricks.

We invite you to sponsor a Memorial Brick for yourself or a service member.  Brick order information can be entered online down below or paper order forms can be found at the Town Clerk’s office.  If ordering online, proof of service of the individual being honored (DD Form 214 or similar, picture of VA grave plaque, etc..) should be submitted with the full payment payable to the Town of Newfane, with "Memorial Brick" in the memo/for line.  Mail the check and required documentation to Newfane Town Hall, 2737 Main Street, Newfane, NY 14108, or drop it off at the Supervisor's Office at Town Hall.  Any replica coasters ordered must be picked up at the Town Clerk’s office (716-778-8531 ext. 2).
