NY STATE HISTORICAL MARKERS

The State Historic Marker Program began in 1926 as a program of the State Education Department to commemorate the Sequicentennial of the American Revolution. Over 2,800 of the small, cast iron site markers (left) were erected statewide during the duration of this program (1926-1939). In spite of loss of public funding, this initiative to identify and interpret local historic sites, including many that survive only in archeological form, has continued to be an important aspect of local historic preservation efforts to this day.
