Historic Marker Program

Have you ever wondered when your house was built? Now is the time to gather all the information that you can in order to participate in the town’s new Historic Marker Program. Eligible properties will qualify for a dated wooden sign, approved by the Plympton Historical Commission.

The program will recognize both historic homes and landscapes in Plympton. In its inaugural year, from June 2007 through December 2008, the signs will carry a special logo commemorating the tercentennial celebration of the town’s incorporation. Signs bearing the special tercentennial logo will be available for one year only, though the historic marker program will continue with a simpler, dated sign.

Plympton is full of antique homes and historic landscapes. In order to celebrate the town’s history, and to recognize the importance of stewardship in maintaining that history, this new program will help raise awareness and appreciation of our most treasured resources.

Do you have an historic home or landscape that should be recognized? Download the guidelines and application materials to find out more information. If you still have questions, please contact one of the Commission members.
