Historic Highway Markers
Markers Approved by the Board of Historic Resources
Every quarter, the Board of Historic Resources approves new markers to bring more history to Virginia's roadsides. Following is a list of recently approved highway markers. As soon as their future homes are finalized by the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT), and the markers are produced by the foundry, they will be placed along major roadways around the state. VDOT installs and maintains most state highway markers (Please note in that a few local jurisdictions handles the maintenance of the markers, since they are responsible for maintaining the roadways in their locality).March 2006
