Please join local historian and author, Katherine J. Rinehart, as she discusses how the architectural character of Petaluma’s downtown has evolved over the last 50-plus years – what was lost, what was saved, and why.

She is the former manager of the Sonoma County History & Genealogy Library and current co-chair of the Advocates for the Sonoma County Archives.

For more than 26 years, she has worked in various positions within the fields of special collections and archives and historic preservation.

Katherine is proud to be an official Petaluma Good Egg — an honor bestowed annually to individuals who have advanced the story of Petaluma’s unique and fascinating past and contributed to the positive promotion of Petaluma.
