Legacy Stones are solid granite stones inscribed with the names of persons whom we wish to recognize and honor with a profound and lasting tribute. Legacy Stone purchasers also submit information to the Registry Books which are maintained at The Highground Visitors Center. These books hold individual histories about each of those for whom the stones have been placed. Those histories contain photos, letters, stories, news-clippings, poems, and/or thoughts by or about the honoree. It is the Stone, combined with the pages of The Registry, which create the true legacy.
