Historic properties sought for ‘History Lives Here’ signs and walking tours

The Bowling Green Historic Preservation Commission will be celebrating National Historic Preservation Month by establishing a self-guided walking tour of the city’s historic homes and buildings. 

As of this week, there were 15 homes and businesses signed up.

Residents are encouraged to sign up their property online at https://buff.ly/41niMW8 by providing basic details about their home or building. 

Residents who sign up will receive a yard sign indicating “History Lives Here,” which will help bring awareness to local preservation and recognize properties included in the self-guided walking tour throughout May.

Sign up your property online at https://buff.ly/41niMW8 or by calling the Planning Department at https://buff.ly/41niMW8 (419) 354-6218 or emailing planning@bgohio.org by Friday, April 7.

The HPC was established in 2019 to help preserve, promote and educate the community about local history and historic buildings in Bowling Green. To learn more about the HPC, visit www.bgohio.org/436/Historic-Preservation-Commission.
