HISTORIC PLAQUE PROJECT
| For Your Home! | |
For Your Business! |
|
The Elk Rapids Historical Society is accepting applications for the next casting of historic plaques. These plaques are cast of 100 % high-quality aluminum with raised letters and numbers, along with a burgundy background for mounting on homes, churches and businesses. All buildings built before 1935 are eligible for a plaque. This is a project to help the Society to document the historic buildings in the Elk Rapids area and for visitors and fellow residents to know how old each building is. After a successful response last year, area historic home owners now have identified and documented thirty homes. These records are kept on file at the Elk Rapids Area Historical Museum for public use regarding historical research of the local community. The current focus is now on old churches, commercial buildings and other historic residential homes in the area. Applications are available at the Museum in the lower level of the Old Township Hall (401 River St.). A downloadable application (a Microsoft Word document) is available below. There is also a "help guide" to tracing the history of your structure. For more information: Contact Nancy Gray: (231) 264-8687 e-mail: dgray44581@aol.com: The cost for the plaques is $75 |
