More and more people and organizations are turning to the idea of placing memorial benches in public places as a tribute to loved ones and others to preserve a legacy. As part of the current renovation of the Harvey S. Firestone Recreational Park, 35 memorial benches will be placed along a picturesque and newly-created “Legacy Trail” of historic sites within the park. The benches are open to sponsorships from service groups, local businesses, families and individuals.

Memorial benches can not only honor loved ones for decades to come, but can commemorate an outstanding community member, historical event, high-school graduation class or anything that bears special meaning or memories.

Each bench will have a personalized plaque and is a visible and innovative way to support the Restoration and Beautification Committee of Columbiana’s renovation of the park.

Sponsor a memorial bench and you’ll create your own perfect spot in the park to enjoy its beautiful landscape and to cherish special memories! Contact the R & B Committee today at (330) 853-6970 for more information about donating a memorial bench to preserve your legacy or GO HERE.
