HISTORIC SITES 2025

Sunday, 11/2/2025 at 2pm

 

On Sunday, November 2 at 2pm join us for our Historic Sites Program.

 

The program will highlight area homes that meet the criteria and are eligible to receive our historic plaque.

Three West Dundee homes will be featured this year. Homeowners from Browning Ave, South 2nd St, and Geneva St have worked along with the historical society to research the history and early owners of their residences.

 

Applications are currently closed for our 2025 program.

We will begin accepting applications for our 2026 program after January 15, 2026. If you are interested in a Plaque for your home, please contact us at dths@sbcglobal.net and download the House Plaque Application.

Plaques are awarded to sites of historical significance and “to foster appreciation of and to educate us about our built environment and our heritage”. Sites must be at least 100 years old.

Research is done by committee members as well as homeowners and community members.

All area residents are invited to participate in our “House Plaque” recognition program.  Attending a plaque presentation is a unique way to learn about some of the earlier residents of Dundee Township, popular structure styles of the past, and ways to keep or restore homes to the original architectural design.

 

 

Interested homeowners can download our House Plaque Application. Questions can be directed to the Historic Sites Committee, at dths@sbcglobal.net.
