Certificate of Listing
Ohio's Designated Properties Convey Our Shared and Irreplaceable Heritage
Ohio properties listed individually or contributing to a historic district in the National Register of Historic Places are eligible to purchase a certificate of listing to display.
The William G. Pomeroy Foundation offers grants that provide funding for markers and plaques to commemorate public properties and historic districts listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Visit the foundation's website for additional information.
National Register Certificates
Each certificate lists the property address or historic name, historic district name if applicable, listing date, and the criteria under which the building, district, structure or site was listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
Ohio’s State Historic Preservation Officer signs each customized certificate. Certificates come in two sizes, framed or unframed, printed on archive-quality parchment. Frames are available in gold or black metal with clear glass and sturdy backing. Please allow 4-6 weeks for standard shipping or choose rush shipping for an additional cost.
