In 1996, the Southern Gospel Music Association accepted an offer from “Etch-A-Stone” of Philadelphia, Mississippi to start a commemorative brick program as a fundraiser for the SGMA Hall of Fame museum. The bricks were sold for $100 and engraved with the name of groups or individuals as a lasting memorial. “Pave Your Way Into Southern Gospel History!” was our promotional slogan, and they were called “Walk of Fame” bricks. That first year, we sold 155 bricks. When the museum opened in 1999, all the bricks purchased were inlaid in the walkway plaza leading into the museum at Dollywood Theme Park as a permanent tribute to those who helped lay our foundation.
Today, we have over 1,500 engraved bricks. Those bricks from the Dollywood location were carefully packed into storage until they were moved to the new location at the Biblical Times Dinner Theater, where they now reside.
Many friends of Gospel music helped finance the first museum. Now you have the same opportunity to “Pave Your Way Into Southern Gospel History” contributing to the preservation of the Southern Gospel legacy.
Thank you for your continued support of the Southern Gospel Music Association!
Travis Bridgeman, Executive Board Member and Secretary
After all these years, the cost is still $100
