Historic Plaques

Together with Historic Petersburg Foundation, we have partnered with Erie Landmark Company on a historic plaque design for contributing properties in Walnut Hill Historic District.

​​

If you would like to order a plaque for your home, you may call Erie Landmark directly for current pricing. Note that they offer discounts starting at 10 units, so cost savings on production and shipping can be obtained if you organize a group order with your neighbors.

The only design option the foundry will need for each plaque: whether it will take rear or front mount. From their website: "A rear mount is an excellent choice if you’ll be displaying your plaque on brick, stone or stucco... Rear mounts are also the best choice if you want to preserve historic stone and brickwork, as the stud mounting can be designed to hit the mortar joints. Front mounts should only be used on drywall and wood. This option frequently requires wood screws and sometimes anchors. Front mounts with anchors require a larger hole. To preserve the history of the materials where possible, these mounts should not be used on historic brick or stone."
