Do you live in one of Macon’s most important historic buildings? Please let your neighbors know that you are a steward for Macon’s architectural heritage. Purchase a National Register cast-bronze plaque from Historic Macon Foundation.

Did you know? • Over 6,000 buildings in Macon are already listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the nation’s most recognizable distinction for historic buildings. • Chances are if your house is over 50 years old and located within one of our 12 historic districts, it is already on the National Register. • A portion of the proceeds from each plaque supports Historic Macon Foundation. • Plaques are personalized to your historic district and can even be further customized. Visit us at www.historicmacon.org/historic-preservation/plaqueprogram or call our office at 478-742-5084 today to place your order. Plaques are $238.50 (including tax and delivery) for members of Historic Macon Foundation.
