Landmarks Historic Marker Program
Take Pride in Your Historic Home!


The Historic Marker Program is a community outreach effort sponsored by Greater Portland Landmarks to celebrate the rich architectural fabric and history of Greater Portland that we work to preserve and protect.

Property owners can celebrate the historical or architectural significance of their property with a plaque that includes the property’s name, biographical information about the original or significant owner, and the original date of construction.

Having a marker on your house is a great way to show that you take pride in your home and that you celebrate its place in history.
