BUCKET LIST UPDATE No. 182: Photograph 100 historical markers

The 'Lucas' Raiders' historical marker in Monroeville, Ala.

A couple of years ago, I started photographing and writing about historical markers as I encountered them on my wanderings in and around Alabama and elsewhere. Not only did these markers provide great material for my blog, but the experience was also very educational. About a year ago, I added “Photograph 100 historical markers” to my official “bucket list,” and during the past week, I finally featured the 100th marker on my blog.

What follows is an alphabetized list of the markers I’ve photographed so far. Most of them are from Alabama, but a few are from as far away as Florida, Arizona and Pennsylvania. How many have you seen in person?
