The Elizabethtown Police Department is seeking information on the theft of historic markers in Downtown Elizabethtown.

“We are currently investigating the theft of three historic bronze plaques that were taken from the former Hardin County Courthouse on the Public Square,” said EPD Public Information Officer Chris Denham. “These plaques date back to 1933 and 1955 and honor Presidents Abraham Lincoln and James Buchanan, and hold significant local value.”

The plaques recognize visits made by the former presidents to Elizabethtown. The EPD believes the thefts occurred between March 18 and 24.

Anybody with possible information is asked to contact the EPD at 270-765-4125.

“Information can also be shared anonymously by calling Hardin County Crime Stoppers at 1-800-597-8123 or by visiting p3tips.com,” Denham said.

Tipsters who share information to Crime Stoppers that leads to the recovery of the plaques and/or the identification of suspects will be eligible for a cash reward.
