The Homes of History Event
Homes of History is an august celebration of our city’s century-old, diverse and fine quality architecture.
As of 2024, there are approximately 370 century homes in Upper Arlington!
Century homes are found throughout Upper Arlington, including north of Lane Avenue, outside of UA’s Historic District.
Over 230 homeowners participated in Homes of History 2023.
Century homeowners will be contacted in early May about participating in this year’s August event. If you believe you have a 100+ year-old home and do not receive an email / letter from the Society, please email us at info@uahistory.org.
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.
Each year we provide locations of UA’s century homes with the consent of the homeowners. This is one reason we ask century homeowners to register with us every year. The link to register is provided in your email / letter.
