Historical Markers
The commission began a historical marker program in 1975 to inform the public about significant buildings, sites, structures, objects, cemeteries, and districts in the state. Individuals or organizations requesting a marker must have available funds to purchase it since the state provides no funds. In order for an individual or organization to receive a marker from the commission a property must be:
- listed individually in the National Register of Historic Places or the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage.
- or be a contributing resource in a listed National Register or Alabama Register historic district
- or be listed in the Alabama Historic Cemetery Register.

Famous quotes containing the word historical:
“We need a type of theatre which not only releases the feelings, insights and impulses possible within the particular historical field of human relations in which the action takes place, but employs and encourages those thoughts and feelings which help transform the field itself.”
—Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956)
