The Benton Community Center, Library, and Museum is more than a beautiful new building—it’s a place created by our community, for our community.

There are still opportunities to become a permanent part of this special project.

Add a Personalized Paver
Honor your family, remember someone special, celebrate a milestone, or simply show your pride in Benton.

Honor an Extraordinary Woman
Celebrate a woman who has made a difference in your life or in our community. The Extraordinary Women display offers a meaningful way to recognize her legacy while supporting the children’s area of our new library.

Whether you choose a paver, honor an Extraordinary Woman, or both, your contribution becomes part of Benton’s story for generations to come.
