03Why markers
Before it vanishes.
Every town has them — bronze plaques, stone monuments, roadside signs marking where something happened. They are often the best effort of people close to a place to tell its story, and they change, fade, and sometimes vanish entirely.
Historic Marker documents the markers we discover, shares them with others who care, and tracks how they change over the years — so the stories they carry aren’t lost with them.
