Historic Markers of Putnam County
Roadside historic markers, commemorative plaques, and monuments throughout the Brewster area — with brief context drawn from public sources and on-site visits.
This is a working directory of historic markers throughout Putnam County, with photos, transcribed marker text, brief historical context, and locations. Most markers were erected by the State of New York, the William G. Pomeroy Foundation, local historical societies, or municipalities; the catalog draws on publicly available sources from the NYS Historic Markers program, the Putnam County Historian’s office, and on-site visits.
Unlike the property narratives elsewhere on this site — which trace every claim to physically reviewed primary sources — the markers section is a reference catalog. Where a marker connects to deeper research published here, links to the relevant narrative are included on the marker’s page.
