Historic House Sign Program Returns!
Was your home in Vernon, Connecticut built more than 50 years ago?
Does it have an architectural design reflective of the homes that were built here in Connecticut in earlier centuries?
Was it formerly occupied by residents who made an impact on Vernon’s history: people who worked in the mills or cultivated the fields that surrounded Vernon’s industrial center?
If your Vernon home meets the 50 year age requirement as set by the National Park Service, you can honor its history and all its former residents by attaching a historic home sign to the front of the house indicating the year in which the home was built.
Vernon Historical Society is re-introducing its Historic Home Sign Program for all Vernon residents who want to celebrate the history of their Vernon homes. The sign itself is an 11 ½ by 24 inch rectangle made of a weatherproof plastic compound, with a white background and black print. The cost for the sign is $50.
