The Oakwood Historical Society's Century Home Marker Program celebrates Oakwood’s treasured, older homes that make our community so unique. The Century Home markers will be awarded to homes 100 years of age or older, which contribute to the architectural and historical ambience of the Oakwood community. The Society researches when a home was built prior to awarding a plaque. The goal of this program is to instill a sense of pride and preservation of Oakwood’s beautiful century homes.

The program has been an overwhelming success since it was launched in December 2022. Over 40 homeowners have applied for the marker, and we are extremely pleased that so many in Oakwood take pride in our community's beautiful and often historic older homes. On your next walk through the neighborhood, we hope you’ll take the time to admire a few of these markers now proudly displayed on many of our lovely homes.

Each marker is made of cast solid bronze and measures six inches in diameter. The cost is $230 for Society members, and $245 for non-members. A great gift idea for your family to enjoy for many years. For more information on the process and to apply, please visit this page.
