Questions people ask first
How much does it cost to visit these sites in your area?
Most listed sites can be seen from a public road or sidewalk at no cost, and the app is free to use. Some sites are private homes, working churches or museums with their own hours and fees. The record for each one says what it is, so you know before you go.
Where does the information on these sites come from?
From published records: the National Register of Historic Places, the Recorded Texas Historic Landmark program, and the Georgia Historical Society and Georgia Department of Natural Resources marker program. Every site on the page names its source.
Are the hard parts of this history included?
Yes. The record is shown as published, and the stories behind the markers include what happened, who it happened to, and how it was remembered. Leaving the hard parts out would make the stop less worth the trip.
Why are there so many of these sites near your area?
Most areas have more than people expect, because the registers list every surviving building and site tied to a period, not just the famous ones. The list on this page shows exactly what is on the record nearby.
The rules that make it work
The record comes first
Every site on these pages comes from a published register or marker program, with its source named. Nothing is listed that is not on the record.
Read the whole story
A marker is a few lines on a post. The story behind it is longer, and it includes the hard parts. Both are worth the stop.
Movement makes it stick
People remember the places they walked to. A route through five markers teaches more than fifty marker pages read on a couch.
Local beats famous
The marker two streets over usually has a better story than the one in the guidebook, and nobody else is standing in front of it.
Respect the ground
Many sites are private homes, working churches or cemeteries. View from the public way, follow posted hours, and leave it as you found it.
Every visitor can improve it
Markers go missing, get moved, or carry mistakes. A photo or a location fix from the person standing there is how the record stays right.
