Historical Markers and Boards
The Burlington Historical Society creates historical markers, posters and brochures on various topics and sites. We have digitized a number of these creations and provide them online here
BHS History Boards
These large format boards have been created by the BHS for many historically significant topics, areas and communities across the city.
The boards are displayed at BHS meetings and special events. You can often see them at Spencer Smith Park around heritage week.
This online slideshow presents these boards. Use the arrows to navigate. You can click on the images for a larger version of the posters.
