Bricelyn Beautification Project

The Bricelyn Veterans Memorial is a community project dedicated to honoring the men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces. This memorial will serve as a place of remembrance, reflection, and gratitude for the sacrifices made by our veterans and their families.

The memorial is being led by Bricelyn American Legion, Nels Lee Post 165, whose members are guiding the planning and development of this important tribute to those who have served our country.

The City of Bricelyn has generously offered the use of the northeast corner of North Main Street and North 3rd Street as the future home of the Bricelyn Veterans Memorial. This highly visible location will provide a meaningful space where community members and visitors can gather to honor our veterans.

Planned Features

The memorial site is being designed to create a dignified and welcoming space for reflection and community gatherings. Planned elements include:

• A memorial monument honoring local veterans

• Flagpoles representing all branches of the United States military

• Thoughtfully designed landscaping to enhance the space

• A future gazebo where families and visitors can gather for ceremonies, events, and quiet reflection

Once completed, the Bricelyn Veterans Memorial will become a lasting tribute to the service and sacrifice of those who have defended our nation.

Supporting the Memorial

Donations for the Bricelyn Veterans Memorial are being coordinated through Bricelyn American Legion, Nels Lee Post 165. Contributions will help fund the construction of the memorial, flagpoles, landscaping, and future site improvements.

The City Park Improvements project is a collaborative effort between Community Partners of Faribault County (CPFC), the Bricelyn Community Club, and the City of Bricelyn, focused on enhancing one of Bricelyn’s most valued community gathering spaces.

The goal of this project is to improve the park’s functionality, comfort, and long-term sustainability while maintaining the welcoming environment that residents and visitors enjoy.

Planned Improvements

Planned enhancements to the park include:

• Installation of new park benches

• Addition of picnic tables for families and visitors

• Planting of new trees to replace those that have been lost to disease over the years

These improvements will help ensure that the park continues to be a comfortable and enjoyable space for community events, family gatherings, and everyday recreation.

Sponsorship Opportunities

Community members have the opportunity to sponsor elements of the park improvements through dedication plaques placed on trees and benches. These plaques provide a meaningful way to honor loved ones, recognize families, or celebrate community connections while supporting the improvement of the park.

Plaques for benches and trees can be ordered through the Community Partners of Faribault County website by completing the dedication plaque form.

The Community Garden Improvements project is a collaborative effort between Community Partners of Faribault County (CPFC), the Bricelyn Community Club, the Bricelyn Food Pantry, and the City of Bricelyn. This initiative aims to revitalize and enhance the community garden, creating a space that supports both local food access and community gathering.

Planned Improvements

Planned enhancements to the community garden include:

• Planting additional fruit trees that will provide fresh produce for the Bricelyn Food Pantry during the harvest season

• Installing benches and picnic tables to create a welcoming space for residents and visitors to gather and enjoy the garden

These improvements will help strengthen the connection between the garden and the food pantry while creating a more inviting community space for everyone to enjoy.

Preserving a Piece of Local History

As part of the revitalization effort, an attempt will be made to repair and relocate the historic town clock from the city park to the community garden. Moving the clock to the garden will help preserve this piece of Bricelyn’s history while allowing it to be appreciated in a setting where more people can see and enjoy it.
