The Lewisville Landmarks program is intended to recognize buildings of historical significance in Lewisville, with particular attention to houses in the Old Town Lewisville historic district, resulting in a marketable self-guided tour that enhances public awareness of Lewisville’s history and expands the public telling of the Lewisville story.
Lewisville Landmark status is ceremonial in nature and does not create any restrictions on the selected properties. Property owners can nominate their home or business for consideration as a Lewisville Landmark. An online nomination form is available https://lfforms.cityoflewisville.com/Forms/LewisvilleLandmarks.
A recognition reception will be held in August at the Lewisville Grand Theater. Sites designated as Lewisville Landmarks will receive a plaque to install near the entrance of the building to create a self-guided walking and driving tour around Old Town Lewisville.
The tour will feature up to 20 sites to view the exterior of buildings with local historical significance, with particular attention to houses in the historic district. The tour will be strictly external. Details about each site will be available online. The tour route could be walked, but most visitors will want to drive portions of it. Details and images from the application will be included in the tour map and website information.
