Alabama Historical Commission Historical Markers

The Alabama Historical Commission's historical marker program began in 1975 to help preservationists inform the public about significant buildings, sites, structures, objects, cemeteries, and districts in the state. Most markers are cast with a circular medallion at the top featuring an outline of the state inside. However, there are also rectangular non-cast markers. The Alabama Historical Association has a similar marker program (and separate HMDb series) but its markers feature the Alabama State Flag.
