The Dundee Township Historical Society will recognize area homes at its annual Historic Sites Program and Plaque Presentation at 2 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 4.

The program will be held at the historical museum, 426 Highland Ave. in West Dundee.

Plaques are awarded to sites of historical significance and "to foster appreciation of and to educate us about our built environment and our heritage". Research is done by committee members as well as homeowners and community members.

Among the homes to receive plaques are:

• The Henry Wendt House at 110 North St. in East Dundee; dates to circa 1898.

• The former Anniballi Home at 434 Highland which dates to 1919.

Others are still being researched to be sure they qualify.

All area residents are invited to attend this recognition program and plaque presentation to learn about some of the earlier residents of Dundee Township, popular structure styles of the past, and ways to keep or restore their homes to the original architectural design.

There is no admission charge.

For information, call the museum at (847) 428-6996 or visit dundeetownshiphistorical.org or www.facebook.com/DundeeTownshipHistoricalSociety/.
