    Calling all history buffs. Dane County is looking to its residents to help create new historical markers , especially ones that are significant to historically underrepresented groups.

    How it works

    Using the online survey
    , share a place, street, neighborhood, building, business, or cultural event — past or present — that you believe is significant to your community, culture, or history. This could be an event from a century ago or something happening today.

    You must be prepared to answer the following questions regarding your marker submission:
    • What group or groups of people is this location important to?
    • What happened at this location?
    • Who was involved in this event?
    • Where did this event take place? Think: Was/is it a specific type of building?
    The final decision on which sites get a physical sign will be up to the Dane County Heritage Preservation Commission . Any other sites of significance that don’t get a physical marker, may be added to an interactive online map that will be posted for the public.
