Send in your nomination for Bartlett Historical Society plaque

If you own a Bartlett home, commercial, public, residential, or barn that is at least 50 years old, you may be eligible for a Bartlett Historical Society plaque.

The Bartlett Historical Society is accepting nominations for its annual awarding of historical plaques. The plaques are purely honorary and place no obligations or restrictions on the owner or the property. The Historical Society pays all costs.

Honorees not only get their own special recognition in Bartlett history, but they receive a handcrafted plaque to place on their building. Plaques are awarded during a special ceremony at a village board meeting, with a reception held at the village hall.

The Bartlett Historical Society selects a small number of sites to honor each year, but will keep all submitted nominations for future consideration.

Structures will be evaluated on their architectural value or if a historically prominent person once lived there. Priority will be placed on the oldest structures, ones most faithful to the original structure, and ones maintained in good condition.

Additions must be sympathetic to the original design. All buildings shall be recognized as characteristics of their own time.

For information and a nomination form, email carolbartletthissoc@comcast.net or call (630) 289-8592. Nominations are requested by March 1.
