Museum Historic Marker Committee members Marvin Hess and Bill Lewis are beginning to place the 20 historic markers on sites in downtown Malad. These sites comprise a historic walking tour of the city as they are all located on Courthouse Hill, North Main, or Bannock Street. 

Funded by a grant from the Union Pacific Foundation, the historic markers will be in locations agreed upon by the property owners and the Museum Committee. The Committee hopes to have most of the markers in place before a celebration to be held on Saturday, May 27, at the Oneida Pioneer Museum. 

Additional information about the sites can be found on the Museum’s website: www.oneidapioneermuseum.org. A brochure about the Walking Tour will be available soon at the Museum. The Committee has identified 25 more sites of historic importance to Malad, and then sites will be identified throughout Oneida County.
