Undertold Marker Program

Undertold Marker Program is sponsored by Texas Historical Commission. This program funds historical markers that address historical gaps, promote topics, and proactively document significant underrepresented subjects or untold stories in Texas history. There is no application fee for this program, unlike the regular historical marker program.

Undertold Markers | Texas Historical Commission Beginning in 2006, the THC began collecting a state-mandated $100 marker application fee “to establish an account to offer funding incentives for special or priority markers." Funds are intended to address historical gaps, promote topics, and proactively document significant underrepresented subjects or untold stories.
