Historic Property Plaques

Want to celebrate the history of your home or business? Every structure within the Beacon City School District is eligible to purchase one of our new Historic Property Plaques, providing the building is 100 years or older.  The oval plaques are 6x8 inches and come in:
Aluminum ($250+$20.94 sales tax = $270.94); or
Bronze ($395+$33.08 sales tax = $428.08).

If you are a tax-exempt non-profit, please provide your EIN/Tax ID number. The property owner is responsible for installing the plaque (with provided hardware). Delivery takes about eight weeks once the order is placed.  

Participants need to submit a simple, easy-to-complete, one-page application form and provide information regarding the history of the building, including photos if available, with their check. Email BeaconHistorical@gmail.com for more information and a copy of the application form.

Can’t make it in person to our meetings? No problem!

We make every effort to stream them live via our ZOOM link here:
