Oklahoma's historical markers, on the maps of their eras

Oklahoma's historical markers stand along the highways and at the sites themselves, cast under a program the Oklahoma Historical Society began with the Oklahoma Department of Highways after the Second World War and still runs today. Three hundred eighty-seven of them now have permanent pages at TreeAlive, each placing the Society's own account of the marker on georeferenced maps from the eras it describes, and each linking back to the Society's own database entry. Where the Society records that a marker has moved, is damaged or no longer stands, its note is on the page too.

What an Oklahoma family sees

TreeAlive maps family trees. When a visitor's ancestors lived in Oklahoma, the markers standing near those places surface automatically alongside their family's journey:

Boley · under a mile from where the family lived in the 1890s · what this marker records spans 1889 to 1911, overlapping the family's years here

When a marker stands near a place in your own tree, you have a personal reason to go see it. Open the live demo tree, choose the Crossings tab, and turn on Historical Markers to see the experience working (the demo family’s markers are in Pennsylvania; an Oklahoma family sees Oklahoma’s).

QR-ready, from day one

Every marker page has print-ready QR artwork. A scan at the sign opens the marker's page on the period map, no app to install. TreeAlive does no printing or installation.

Marker page links are permanent: identifiers are never reassigned, so a code printed today resolves for good.
