Gant Museum Freedom Walkway Memorial
The Nelson T. Gant Foundation in conjunction with Mr. Alan Cottrill Sculpture Studio of Zanesville, Ohio has agreed to sculpt a seven-foot-tall bronze statue of Nelson T. Gant. The seven-foot bronze statue of Mr. Gant will be placed toward the front of the property, approximately five (5) feet from the front porch.
The brick walkway will consist of bricks leading up to the statue and bricks placed around the statue, as seen in the illustration above. The bricks in this walkway will be engraved to recognize and honor personal, family, and business entities and will become a permanent structure at the Gant Museum.
The Nelson T. Gant story reflects African American heritage, culture, dedication, and faith, as well, as the significance and importance of the power of freedom and what can be done for individuals and communities when freedom prevails. We hope this memorial will serve as an inspiration to honor our freedoms.
