City of Sonoma Historic Resource Workshop April 22, 2026 6pm-8pm

City of Sonoma Historic Resource Workshop

The City of Sonoma is proud to sponsor the development of a Citywide Historic Context Statement and Survey. A Historic Context Statement is a specialized historic study that focuses on the physical development of the city. It identifies significant themes, patterns, and property types, so that interested parties can recognize the forces that shaped the city’s history and built environment over time. This provides a framework and tool to assist homeowners, architects, City staff, and city review bodies understand the process for identifying, evaluating, and treating historic resources. The survey portion of the project will focus on properties that are at least 45 years old, which have the potential to be historic resources.

You are invited join us for a Community Workshop to learn more about this exciting project, and to contribute by sharing your knowledge about places, communities, events, and themes that are important to the history and physical development of Sonoma. At future workshops, you will have an opportunity to review and comment on the draft Historic Context Statement and Survey Report before they are considered for adoption by the City.
