May is National Historic Preservation Month, established in 1973 by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. During the month of May events are planned to promote historic places for the purpose of instilling national and community pride, promoting heritage tourism, and showing the social and economic benefits of historic preservation.

For this reason the Society has, often, held its Historic Home Tour in the month of May. On some years, including this year, the Society plans to host a holiday version of its home tour in December. We are looking forward to once again hosting the home tour and highlighting the many architecturally significant homes and buildings in our community.

Please join us for the Society's May event The Story of the Benicia-Martinez Railroad Drawbridge to celebrate National Historic Preservation Month!
