Twenty-eight custom-designed historical markers commemorating sites, persons and events significant in local history have popped up around Milton over the last month, part of the city’s overall wayfinding signage project.
“Milton residents and marker volunteers Joan Borzilleri, Norman Broadwell, Bill Lusk and Bob Meyers diligently worked over the last 12 months to identify marker locations, research and draft marker texts to ensure accuracy, and work with property owners to secure installation approval,” the city said in announcing the effort.
The volunteers and city staff worked with designers from Cooper Carry architects and CanAm Signs & Imaging to produce the markers, made of cast aluminum with raised bronze letters on a black background, with the Milton city seal in the top left. Depending on the site, the markers are located on posts or the sides of buildings.
A map of the markers will be posted to the city's website at a later date. The volunteers also are working with city staff to include a history room in City Hall.
