Hopkins Historic Homes Program

Hopkins is home to hundreds of beautiful older homes.

The Hopkins Historic Homes Program was started in August 2000 to document the histories of the old homes and neighborhoods in Hopkins. It was quickly determined that Hopkins had over 450 homes that were 75 years old or older, and 138 of those homes had hit their centennial. One of the Project’s primary goals is to recognize these old homes and their wonderful histories by awarding a proclamation and plaque. Possible candidates are brought to the attention of the committee who then send out a history survey to the homeowners. The committee then reviews each survey to choose the recipients for the yearly award.

Anyone who owns a home that is 75 years old or older can apply for this award by filling out our history survey. This survey assists the committee when making their final selections.  The history survey is designed to provide historical background on the home and neighborhood.

Nominations are due by September 1st of each year.  Homes selected will be awarded their proclamations and plaque in late October.
