A Sign of the Times

The Italian American Museum of Cleveland (IAMCLE) invites Little Italy property owners to honor the significance of their home or building with a custom-etched, weather-resistant Century Plaque — a lasting symbol of the craftsmanship and traditions that shaped the neighborhood’s unique character and history.

Members of the IAMCLE Preservation Committee will conduct primary source research to create a historical snapshot of your property, bringing its rich past to life.

Each plaque costs $200 and will be delivered 8 to 10 weeks AFTER the research is completed. 

If you’re purchasing a plaque as a gift, you can request a gift certificate from IAMCLE. Plaques will be personally presented by IAMCLE Director and Italian American historian Pamela Dorazio Dean.
