Support The Goodrich
Two ways to help carry it forward.
Sponsor a permanent engraved brick in The Trackside Patio, or make a general contribution to the Preservation Fund — any amount, no engraving. Both go toward the same architectural, engineering, and stabilization work.

Two patios. Two stories.
In front of the mill, the patio is laid with brick salvaged from the original road through Farmland — brick made in Brazil, Indiana and gathered by the town when the road was resurfaced. Those bricks have been part of this place for over a century.
The new patio is on the side that mattered most. A 1919 grain elevator was built for one reason: to move grain in from the country, hold it, and load it into rail cars headed for market. The Trackside Patio sits on that exact line. Every donor brick is cut, fired, and set here — overlooking the rails the mill was built to serve.
About the bricks
- Bricks are new and custom engraved — not replacements for historic materials
- Engraving is completed professionally prior to installation
- Bricks are set permanently into The Trackside Patio at the mill
- Installation occurs in scheduled phases, each spring and fall
- Brick availability is limited
Preservation Fund
Not everyone wants or needs a brick. Contributions of any amount to the Preservation Fund support the same architectural, engineering, and stabilization work. No engraving or physical placement is included.
