With immense pride, the Brighton Veterans Memorial Committee announces its intention to construct a Memorial to all Brighton Veterans, both living and deceased, who have served in the Armed Forces of the United States.

Brighton residents will also be able to honor a relative who has served, even though that relative may never have lived in Brighton.

A parcel of land has been secured in Buckland Park, located on Westfall Road. On this dedicated land, we will construct a serene environment in which an eagle on a large boulder sits with wings outstretched 10 feet in breadth.

Benches will be placed so that visitors can sit and reflect. Inside the adjacent Buckland Farmhouse, a roster of honored names will be displayed.  View a video of the start of the construction project here.

If you are interested in supporting the Veterans Memorial, you can send a contribution to:

Veterans Memorial Committee, Town of Brighton, 2300 Elmwood Ave., Rochester, NY 14618. Checks should be made payable to the Town of Brighton - Veterans Memorial.
