Your Custom Commemorative Paver!

The dark gray, 3-inch-thick, textured granite pavers are custom-engraved and will last for generations. Pavers are available in two sizes, 4” x 8” and 8” x 8” and are 100% tax-deductible. The funds raised go directly toward the museum’s construction and supports its mission to educate, honor, and preserve the Nation’s rich maritime history of the United States Coast Guard.

The National Coast Guard Museum Association understands the value of museums and the purpose they serve in society. Our mission is to support the creation, sustainability, and growth of the National Coast Guard Museum.
