The Mission Continues...
Since its founding, the organization has helped
provide grants and loans to historic properties,
conducted historic property surveys, sponsored
preservation workshops, conferences and
events, and has produced walking tour
brochures of many of the City’s historic
districts. Over the past year, Sacramento
Heritage’s Board of Directors has been working
to create this website and showcase its
programs and new initiatives. Especially
exciting are the forthcoming Historic Plaque
Program and the On-line Historic Walking
Tours Programs being created by Sacramento
Heritage’s Board of Directors. Go to the
“Walking Tours” and “Programs” links for more
