HARRISBURG – If you’re looking for a different sort of license plate, PennDOT is rolling out a new Preserve Our Heritage plate.
PennDOT and the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission announced the new design Tuesday afternoon.
It features the Pennsylvania Bank Barn.
“For centuries, the iconic stone foundations and cantilevered forebays of the Pennsylvania Bank Barn have stood as steadfast symbols of our state’s deep agricultural roots,” said Andrea Lowery, Executive Director of the Pennsylvania Historic & Museum Commission. “These structures were built to last, perfectly integrated into the hillsides of our Commonwealth. Placing this historic cornerstone on our new license plates is a wonderful way for Pennsylvanians to celebrate and carry a piece of our shared, enduring history wherever the road takes them.”
The plate is a special fund plate that costs $64 with $23 going directly to support the PHMC’s education and exhibit programs.
“PennDOT is proud to commit funds from the sale of each Preserve Our Heritage special fund plate to support the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission’s education and exhibit programs,” said PennDOT Deputy Secretary for Driver and Vehicle Services Kara Templeton. “In doing so, PennDOT is continuing its part in helping Pennsylvanians engage with the important history of our Commonwealth.”
If you are interested in ordering this new plate, you can complete the MV-911 form, “Application for Special Fund Registration Plate.”
