"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.
