If you love Pennsylvania barns and preserving the state’s heritage, there is a new specialty license plate featuring a graphic of a Pennsylvania bank barn.
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation and the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission announced April 7 that Pennsylvanians may now purchase the newly designed “Preserve Our Heritage” special fund plate featuring the Pennsylvania Bank Barn and the Liberty Bell. The plate follows the design language of the new Pennsylvania license plate.
“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 special fund license plate is available for cars or trucks with a registered gross weight of not more than 14,000 pounds. Each plate costs $64, with $23 going directly to support the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission’s education and exhibit programs. Pennsylvanians who are interested in ordering this new plate can complete the MV-911 form.
