Markers to Add to the HMdb

Updated April 22, 2018 - Added state markers in Kerr County, Texas

The map below shows the location of over 5,400 historical and other markers that have not yet been entered into the Historical Marker Database (HMdb) (www.hmdb.org). These are markers that I intended to collect in the past but life changes have taken me to another part of the country, that I intend to collect on future travels, or that I stumbled across in my research and I thought were interesting and did not want to forget about them.

I want to share these markers with others in case you may want to collect them on your travels and add them to the Historical Marker Database. Happy Collecting! (See my comments below the map for accuracy on the marker locations.)

Notes on the Marker Accuracy

Because State historical marker databases often have inaccurate (or just wrong) location information, I have confirmed for most markers the marker title and its location using Google street view and other Internet sources such as findagrave.com and waymarking.com. However, even if confirmed, the information for that marker may still be several years old and does not guarantee that you will find the marker. For markers that I have not confirmed their location, I am using the best available information that I found, usually from the marker databases of state agencies.

This map is not inclusive of all markers in a particular locale that are not in the HMdb, but may lead you to other markers. If you see another marker in the area, it may not be in the HMdb.

When the map was created and I entered marker locations, I verified that the marker was not already entered in the HMdb. I will continue to update the map to remove any markers when they are collected and entered in the HMdb.
