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.
