Leave a Lasting Legacy During Rochester’s Bicentennial Celebration
Twenty-seventeen marks the 200th Anniversary of the founding of Rochester. In celebration of this historic milestone, in addition to several special events throughout the year, the City of Rochester plans to build a Bicentennial Monument.
Create a lasting memory with a sponsorship of Rochester’s Bicentennial Monument. Located at the entrance to the Rochester Municipal Park, the centerpiece of the monument will feature a Sundial designed by Michigan artist Russell Thayer, surrounded by Historic Decade Stones depicting key moments in Rochester’s history, benches and engraved brick pavers.
Opportunities are available to individuals, families, businesses and organizations to create a lasting memory through sponsorship of the Bicentennial Monument. Sponsorship opportunities includes Engraved Brick Pavers ($100), Benches ($2,000) and Decade Stones ($2,500). Additionally, the Sundial Gnomon is also available for sponsorship for $50,000.
