Pinehurst Historic Plaque Program

Our Mission

To encourage the recognition, preservation and restoration of the historic buildings of Pinehurst, to encourage the recording of Pinehurst’s unique history, and to make that history accessible to the residents of, and visitors to, Pinehurst.

How it works

Each year, our Historic Plaque Committee will select a limited number of properties to receive a unique plaque to recognize their special role in the history and development of Pinehurst. (Candidates for the award may include residences, commercial, institutional, and public buildings.)

Presentation

The Historic Plaques will be presented each year in a ceremony similar to a “hall of fame induction” at the Historic Fair Barn.

Qualifications

A building should be ninety years old to be a candidate to receive the Historic Plaque. When preparing their applications, applicants are encouraged to visit the Tufts Archives and incorporate relevant information therefrom.

Other Notes

Applicants are also encouraged to engage in original research, identifying and describing historic, social or cultural aspects of their properties which are not already included in the Tufts Archives. Further, we hope that this recognition may inspire owners of historic properties to preserve and restore their own buildings.
