Hi, The Berlin Area Historical Society has done two Historical Info signs to
date. We have used Pannier Co out of Gibsonia Pa.
They have a website if you want to see what they all do. Ours are outdoor
signs, one giving the legend for our 1st Nation Monument
and the other talks about the history and importance of our Market Square. I
have enclosed a picture of the one we did for the
1st Nation monument. They are stand-alone signs not attached to any
buildings.They are a very good company to work with and
we have been pleased with the products they do. We are looking to increase
the number of signs going forward.

Any information regarding placing a plaque stating when the building was
established/built. Historical use of building in the past. Do not need a Wis
Landmark sign, just an informative brief sign telling of early use and when
built to brighten up our local downtown historic district.
Any information is appreciated. Also places where a sign company is
located.
