House Plaques

The Glen Ellyn Historical Society is now accepting applications for house plaquing! 

The Glen Ellyn Historical Society has a commemorative plaquing program for the recognition and plaquing of historically and/or architecturally significant structures in Glen Ellyn. The word “structure” refers to various types of buildings, e.g., houses, churches, stores and schools.  If you think your house is 80 years of age or older, it may qualify for a plaque from the Glen Ellyn Historical Society.  Call 630–469-1867 or email director@gehs.org for more information on fees and how to proceed, or download the PDF at the bottom of this page that includes an application.

Please be aware that the Historical Society's plaquing program is commemorative. While a plaque honors a Glen Ellyn home/structure, the plaque does not carry any protections for the property.
