Introduction

Thematic lists of Canadian historical landmarks and markers
provided at Markeroni

General Information

At Markeroni, the term "county" means "independent city, municipality, county or whatever other designation is appropriate". It's not the correct term, but it saves a lot of typing.

Towns and areas often have their own local plaque or landmark systems. We can add them, but we need you to provide the information in the form of a web link. We currently do not have enough resources to do all the research ourselves. Otherwise, we can only add such landmarks as "wildcards", and only if they have plaques.

Not all heritage sites have plaques. If you can find a site that we list or count, you may log it.

Landmark-hunting is not an exact science and you might find that there are listed places which don't exist, should be removed because they're sensitive, private or archaeological, etc. Please just contact us and let us know if you find something like this.

The Canadian Historic Sites dabase linked below is a resource into which the various provinces pour all their designated sites. It seems as though some provinces have not entered all the different designations, however, so in some cases you must look at each landmark individually to figure out whether it is a city, provincial or just plain random site. We suggest that you use the links from each resource page first, then use the Canadian database to find other sites that might be interesting, then let us know what you have found.

Don't forget that you can include most monuments, statues and memorials as long as they give a bit of history and aren't just a simple "In Memoriam". You can also include war memorials and museums. However, in the absence of a master list, you'll need to request each one individually via the request form in the Journals project.
