Presque Isle Bay Area & Bicentennial Tower - Erie PA - Donated Engraved Bricks and Pavers on Waymarking.com

In the mid to late 1990’s, the City of Erie, Pa., in conjunction with Erie Port Authority and the Erie Bicentennial Commission, raised funds for the construction of the Erie Bicentennial Tower and restoration of the Presque Isle Bay area, by asking residents and businesses to donate a brick that would be used on the retaining walls separating the pedestrian walkways from the bay as well as in and around the tower itself. This redevelopment of the Erie Bay Area was to commemorate the City of Erie Bicentennial of 1995. Those donating a brick were able to have the brick engraved with their names, or a dedication, or any other significance that they wanted to place on a brick.

The posted coordinates will take you to our brick, which is one of many along the way. Our brick was one of over 7000 that were donated and features our family names on it. From that location, you can see many great views such as: Presque Isle Bay, Presque Isle Peninsula, the Bicentennial Tower, Dobbins Landing (The Public Dock), the Erie Bayfront Convention Center - which is designed to look like a ship headed into the bay, as well as a host of local wildlife such as fish, ducks, geese, etc.

We have included pictures of our brick and the surrounding area, as well as, the Bicentennial Tower and the dedication plaque/time capsule located inside the tower.
