"We are preservationists.  We believe that beautiful places are easily destroyed and not easily replaced.  We honor the craft, and the vision and exuberance of old structures.  We believe that America's cities are the soul of our country "  Garrison Keillor

Gratitide to Mr Keillor for an insighful quote, a quote we have used for four years now. But like so many things, change comes about....the longer one mills about in this profession, the clearer it becomes that saving a building or preserving a block, is far from the whole of this preservation thing. Preservation Napa Valley is a Cultural Heritage Conservation organization. We are interested in and will work to build awareness to support the arts, living traditions, cultural memory, architecture, agriculture and authenticity. Conservation is an on going, stewardship action and so to that, lets get out there and do it!


Our Mission
While embracing the past and looking toward the future, to conserve, protect and build awareness for Napa County’s architectural and cultural resources through education and advocacy.

 




Preservation Napa Valley develops educational programs that support countywide stewardship of our historic communities. We are advocates for endangered buildings and the unique agricultural landscape of Napa.

We believe that the singular beauty, identity and economic engine of Napa County has been and always will be agriculture. Preservation Napa Valley promotes and supports preservation activities that have a tangible, positive effect on our community. We are redefining what preservation can accomplish for Napa Valley communities, delivering a relevant and collaborative voice as the City and County grow.

Founded in 2008 by Wendy Ward, Preservation Napa Valley is a, 501 © (3), all-volunteer, non-profit organization supported by donations, event fundraisers, membership dues and other funds raised in the community. Membership is open to all. Please join us on our mission to protect the vast cultural resources of Napa County.
