Help Preserve the Blue Wing Inn

The Blue Wing Inn is a 170+ year old, two-story "Monterey Style" adobe across from Sonoma Mission that looks as it did at its completion in 1852.

It didn’t get to look like it does today by accident. There were at least 4 individuals who were actively involved with its preservation: August Pinelli in 1911; Elmer Awl as well as Celeste Murphy in the early 1940s; and William and Polly Black from 1948 until 1968.
We have them to thank.

--> Do you think we can step up to the plate and help preserve it for another 170 years?

History is Big Business in Sonoma

BAE (Bay Area Economics) developed a Reuse Feasibility Study for Future Castro Adobe State Park in 2000 dealing with parking, potential revenue and other issues.

Please read it closely, we'll have own - eventually - and we need to get in the practice of reading these kinds of reports very closely.

If we - with a very light hand - preserved the Blue Wing we could turn it into a popular museum; after all, our Sonoma Mission receives 58,000+ visitors per year - not including the thousands of school children.

History is big business in Sonoma!
