Subsequent Surveys Added to the Inventory

Since the first Inventory was prepared, surveys of other areas in Sonoma County have been conducted. They include:

Penngrove, 1994
Guerneville, Rio Nido, Monte Rio 1999
Russian River Resort Area, 2006
Various properties eligible for Landmark Designation, 2007
West Dry Creek Road, Healdsburg, 2007
Freestone, 2010
Occidental, 2010
Bodega, 2011
Duncans Mills, 2011
Glen Ellen, 2013
Sonoma Valley, 2015
Various surveys conducted in association with environmental analysis of proposed development projects

In 2007, County and State historic records for the unincorporated area were organized and compiled into a master Historic Resource Inventory (database) by the Anthropological Studies Center at Sonoma State University under a 2006-2007 County TOT Advertising Grant. In 2015, an internship project expanded that Inventory from approximately 2,300 records to approximately 4,000. The Inventory often contains multiple records on a single property reflecting surveys done at different times. The County will continue to add records to the Inventory as they become available. Once the database is complete, a Geographical Information Systems (GIS) map will be created that shows the location of these resources.
