PLAQUES FOR HISTORIC BUILDINGS AND HOMES



Please Note: Although many owners want to have a plaque placed on their National Register- listed
building, the National Park Service does not have a plaque program. Owners of National Register buildings
may mount a plaque on their property if they wish. A number of private companies manufacture suitable
plaques. This list is by no means a complete one, nor is it an endorsement by the National Trust of the
companies listed here.

To avoid costly shipping charges, you may want to work with a foundry or engraving firm in your local area.
Consult with your State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) and any local historical commission to find out if
they have plaque programs of their own. 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. To obtain information about your SHPO (the name of the
office, mailing address, telephone number), please visit the National Trusts website using this link:
http://www.preservationnation.org/contacts/. You can also call the National Conference of State Historic
Preservation Officers at (202) 624-5465 or visit their website at www.ncshpo.org. Finally, and most
importantly, be extremely careful when affixing the plaque to the historic building in order to avoid harming
the building material.
