Darien Plaque Program for Historic houses

Or Architecturally Significant Houses

A plaque transforms your noteworthy house, without restrictions. As of 2025, the Museum of Darien expanded its House Plaque Program from assessing the age of a house, to including the most important architectural styles of houses in Darien from any century. A plaque is an honor awarded to recognize the finest houses in the following categories: historical age, architectural style, and historical events. There is pride in these special plaqued houses as part of Darien’s permanent historical record. All plaques on houses are for honorary purposes only and have absolutely no restrictions on painting, moving to another site in Darien, selling, or additions. There are two categories of plaques: Antique Houses: c. 1700 to c. 1900 20th & 21st Century Houses to present
