Since 1934, the Illinois State Historical Society has erected more than 400 historical markers statewide. Subjects of historical significance to Illinois are co-sponsored by local organizations and supporters. The Illinois State Historical Society coordinates the placement and management of historical markers throughout the state. Those interested in erecting a marker should contact William Furry at 217/525-2781 or wfurry@historyillinois.org. A marker application form must be filled out, and each marker must be sponsored by a group willing to cover the costs of the marker. 100-word markers cost $2,000.00 and the larger 250-word markers cost $3,000.00, plus crating and shipping. Historical Marker Week is usually the first week in March. Watch this site for details regarding Historical Marker Week 2007.
