These plaque pages have recently undergone a complete renovation,
and in addition to many other improvements, our plaques are now
listed in alphabetical order instead of by date of dedication.
You may need to re-bookmark your favorites.

The full text of each of our plaques is included on these pages,
and more new photos are being added as time and money permit.

We have also added GPS (Global Positioning Satellite) Latitude and
Longitude coordinates for each of these plaques wherever possible,
to make them easier for you to locate. By entering the coordinate numbers
into your GPS unit or favorite free mapping website, you can access a map
and driving directions to the plaque's location.
