Each summer, the Healdsburg Museum’s docents present History Talks in the Plaza on Saturday mornings at the gazebo. In 2024, programs run from June 1st to August 31st. Each Saturday there will be two presentations:

10:00 – 10:30
The Healdsburg Story                           
This quick overview of the town’s past is perfect for newcomers and visitors. You’ll learn the town’s history from Pomo Village to Destination Healdsburg.

10:30 – 11:30             
Healdsburg’s Great Outdoors
Ted Calvert
Learn about Healdsburg’s Forever Wild Preserves: Fitch Mountain Park and Preserve, Healdsburg Ridge Preserve, and Riddell Preserve. Ted Calvert will share information about their trails, their plants and wildlife, and how to forage their bounty. You'll also learn about land stewardship and why we want to preserve our agricultural roots. Plus, of course, he'll remind you of all the health benefits you get from hanging out in our great outdoors.
