SAGGIOHILLSDEVELOPMENT PARKNAMED

On Oct. 21, 2024, Healdsburg City Council voted to name the future park in the Saggio Hills Development after Laura Fish Somersal. Laura Fish Somersal was a Native American woman, a worldfamous basket maker, a national leader, linguist (Pomo and Wappo languages) and educator of California Indian culture. Somersal was a lifelong resident of northern Sonoma County and dedicated much of her life to preserving local Native culture and language. This is the first park in Healdsburg to be named after a woman, person of color and Native American.

Laura Fish Somersal (1892-1990)
The Saggio Hills Development future park, located in the northern foothills of the Parkland Farms neighborhood. The park will connect to Healdsburg Ridge Open Space Preserve.

The Healdsburg Museum presents

History TAlk

Healdsburg on the home front

Join us for a special Veteran’s Day presentation from the Museum Docents Jerry Haag, Patrick Mukaida and Joanne Taeuffer and learn about Healdsburg life during the war, including how school children raised funds to pay for construction of a P-47 jet fighter, which was named for the city.

Find out what happened to the Japanese families who lived here… many of whom came back to stay after the war. Hear about the many roles women took to help the war effort including planting Victory Gardens, staffing a hospitality house for soldiers, selling war bonds and more.

We will be serving “Make Do Cake,” baked by Meredith Dreisback from a World War II-era recipe designed to help homemakers make dessert while staying within rationing limits.
