Marking, counted both ways

Indiana Historical Bureau count, as of the Bureau's county list; local marking as of November 2026

The state's marking, counted: the Indiana Historical Bureau's marker database places 23 official state historical markers in St. Joseph County — the Bureau's county tally as carried in its marker list (placements spanning 1963 to 2021). The Granger share of that count is zero: the Arts file's tested finding stands uncontradicted — no state historical marker stands inside the CDP, and none of the 23 stands in Clay or Harris township on CDP ground.

The place's own marking, counted as a programme: there is no Granger marker programme, no Granger landmark tour, and no township marker programme in either township in the record reached. The local marking machinery that exists is the county regime's own, and it is printed at its true size: the Commission's designated-properties map (the ArcGIS Map of South Bend Historic Properties, covering local landmarks and districts county-wide, on which Harris Prairie Cemetery is Granger's single plotted point of designation); the Southhold Preservation Awards, the Commission's award programme descended from Southhold Restorations, Inc. (1973–1997), whose bequest funds awards recognising preservation, restoration and adaptive reuse anywhere in St. Joseph County, with nominations most recently publicised in autumn 2023; and the Building South Bend property record (University of Notre Dame), which functions as the city's public landmark inventory online. None of the three has marked anything on Granger ground beyond the cemetery's landmark designation itself.
