There are all sorts of historical markers on various things and in various places all over the US. (Though I'm not aware of any at Dartmouth College regarding the computer-related events that occurred there.) These particular markers are ones put up on NH state highways where they're fairly visible even to people not actively looking for them. |

New Hampshire has these green historic signs all over the place - they are particularly thick in the seacoast region, for historic buildings or places where events of any kind of significance took place. For example, in downtown Exeter, there is one by the town hall commemorating a speech that Abraham Lincoln gave during his presidential campaign, also noting that his son went to Phillips Exeter, and across the street there is another marking that Exeter was once the capital of New Hampshire, and then a couple hundred yards away there is another marking where a tavern still stands that George Washington once ate dinner.
