The William G. Pomeroy Foundation is committed to assisting communities in celebrating their history. The Foundation emphasizes the significance of historic markers in promoting local historic preservation, educating the public, and fostering historic tourism, which ultimately supports local economies.
The Ohio Historical Markers Grant Program, in partnership between the William G. Pomeroy Foundation and the Ohio History Connection since 2014, aims to provide grants for historical markers. These markers are dedicated to commemorating the historic people, places, things, or events of Ohio's past, specifically within the years 1800-1900.
