[MassHistPres] Signage for National Register Hist. Districts

[Michael Smith]

Belmont has one sign at each end of the District with "entering" and
"leaving" on each side of both signs.

Subject: [MassHistPres] Signage for National Register Hist. Districts

 

The State Review Board has recently voted eligible the nomination of the
Canton Corner Historic District, and has sent it to Washington for the final
review; and we hope approval of the nomination.  In anticipation of approval
the Canton Historical Commission has begun to consider appropriate signage
for the HD, and wonder how other communities identify their NRHD.

 

Is there one sign placed at a central location in the District?  Do some
towns place signs entering the District?  We presume signage needs to be on
town owned land.  

 

We are looking for guidance as to appropriate size and materials; also any
problems incurred with signage.  If you have photos to share, we would
appreciate receiving them.

 

Thank you in advance for any and all comments on this subject.

 

Kathi Keith

Canton Historical Commission
