Historic House Plaques and Research Service
(FOR PRIVATE ORDERS)
The Branford Historical Society offers house plaques to identify historic structures and landmarks in Branford. Properties are acknowledged by date of construction and by original or historically recognized owner. Buildings 60 years or older are eligible for a plaque.
The wooden plaques are 11 x 16 inches, painted white, with black lettering and a border. Stainless steel screws are included.
While we maintain extensive inventories of historic data, research is still needed to identify the date of construction and ownership of your house. This is required for all new plaques to verify accuracy, and is provided for an additional fee of $50.00 above the cost of the plaque itself. The total cost for a plaque & research service is $350.00. If you already have a historically-verified house plaque, and just need a replacement, the cost for a replacement plaque is $300.00.
Fill out the Online Order Form below, and click Submit. You will then be redirected to the Product Page where you can “Add to Cart” the “Plaque & Research Service” or “Replacement Plaque”, and continue through the Checkout process.
Current approximate timeframes from order date to delivery –
