French Icarian Colony Foundation Annual Drive Imagine what could be done …. the dining hall restored and perhaps the schoolhouse moved. You can make a difference….. Our annual drive will provide the funds to match grant monies to continue restoration on the dining hall and help with costs so we can keep you informed and involved. Our goal is $14,000 to match the dining hall grant and $5,000 for the schoolhouse match. Be a charter member of the French Icarian Colony Foundation Annual Drive. Buy a brick (paver) made by nationally known clay artisan David Dahlquist. The pavers will resemble the bricks made in the original colony - buff in color, 8-9" square, similar composition material and similar firing practices as were used in the colony in the late 1800's. Buy bricks in memory of a loved one and to etch in stone your involvement in restoring the colony and your commitment to the growth of Adams County.
