Each year, a deceased former Upper Arlington resident who brought honor and recognition to our community is selected for the Wall of Honor, with a memorial plaque installed on the Plaza at the Municipal Services Center, 3600 Tremont Road. The idea was conceived by City administration and is a joint project of the Historical Society and the City of Upper Arlington. Its purpose is to honor a deceased resident of Upper Arlington who has contributed greatly to the city, state or nation through his or her achievements.

The honoree has a bronze plaque dedicated in his/her memory and placed on the limestone wall in front of the Municipal Services Center. Applications are made available each year in the newspapers and at the Upper Arlington libraries. The nominee must have lived in Upper Arlington and meet one or more of the following requirements:

Be outstanding in achievement in the arts, professions, politics, science, education, sports, religion, commerce, philanthropy, public service, or a reputation that brings honor to the community, or personal commitment and service to the community, or has had a lasting effect for the good of the community.

Below are links to images of every plaque since the program began in 1990. See it “live” outside the entrance to UA’s Municipal Services Center, 3600 Tremont Road.
