How do I Get a Plaque for My Historic Building?

Updated 8/15/2011

Plaques for Historic Homes

Owners of local, state, or nationally registered houses often mount a plaque on their property.   A number of private companies manufacture suitable plaques. Historic plaque companies advertise in Preservation, so be sure to look in the classified section for companies in your area.  Consult with your State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) and any local historical commission to find out if they have plaque programs. Your SHPO will also be able to tell you if your state has a special funding program to help with the cost of a plaque. More information is available on our fact sheet on plaques for historic buildings and homes.
