Continued from May 1st entry.
As of the end of 2007, there are 1,200 markers. People are invited to nominate new ones. They must be of historical properties, persons and events on local, state or national level. It should address at least one important aspect of Ohio's historical, natural, or physical development in one of the following areas: history, architecture, culture, archaeology, ethnic association, natural history or folklore.
Once approved, the marker is manufactured by Sewah Studios in Marietta, Ohio.
A grant was set up in 2006 to help organizations and communities to defray cost. Up to 20 markers a year are selected to receive $750 to lower the $1,900 to $2,150 cost.

Love Those History On a Sticks. --RoadDog
RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
