The Homes of History Event
2026 was our sixth homes of history celebration!
Homes of History is an august celebration of our city’s century-old, diverse and fine quality architecture.
As of 2026, there are over 490 century homes in Upper Arlington!
Century homes are found throughout Upper Arlington, including our “pioneer homes” north of Lane Avenue, outside of UA’s Historic District.
An estimated 330+ homeowners participated in Homes of History 2026.
Newly-eligible century homeowners (homes built in 1927) will be contacted by early May 2027 about participating in the August 2027 event. If you believe you already have a 100+ year-old home and have not received information from the Society, please email us at info@uahistory.org.
To begin a search for your home’s age, start at the Franklin County Auditor’s Property search site. Scrolling down the summary page will show a “Built Year” date. Occasionally these dates are not correct; if you have additional information to clarify the age of your home, please contact us.
Yard signs are offered free-of-charge in your home’s 100th year and then homeowners may use that sign every subsequent year. Replacement signs or homeowners with homes more than 100 years old are asked to purchase the yard sign for a nominal fee.

The Society relies on email to communicate with homeowners, and we hope you will remain on our mailing list to view the broad set of programs and events we conduct all year long.
The Century Home Marker program is process by which century homeowners may purchase a permanent metal sign for their home. The application window will close Sept 15, 2026 and re-open in late Spring 2027. This permanent home marker requires multiple levels of approval from the City of UA and the Society.
