    Ed Langhart, for whom this dinner was named, was the longtime City Clerk and then City Manager. An archivist and historian, Ed dedicated his life to collecting and preserving local artifacts and promoting the history of Healdsburg. In 1976, he led the drive to establish the Healdsburg Museum and the Historical Society. When the Museum moved to its present quarters, Ed was honored as its founder with the monument on the front lawn.
