When does a historical marker become historic?

This one was erected 90 years ago by a long defunct railroad near Grenville, New Mexico. It reads:

First Wagons used on Santa-Fe Trail crossed here in 1822 

Erected by Colorado & Southern Railway 

J.D. Walker, Supt. - Robt. Rice, V.P. & G.M. 1930 

It's already been damaged by vandals, so maybe it would be better placed at the Museum in Clayton?

Old House (School? Church?) 141

Another vague building in Grenville, NM

Country Church, or not

This may have been a church, or maybe it was a school, or maybe both. I do know it's in Grenville, New Mexico.

Grenville, New Mexico, just a stone's throw from the Colorado & Southern Railway (now BNSF), was founded in 1888 and named for Grenville Dodge, a prominent soldier and railroad executive. The town's population peaked at around 250 people and is now mostly abandoned.
