"The St. Helena Historical Society is a public educational organization. It's mission is to collect, preserve, exhibit, and provide access to historical materials of all kinds from our community as well as to promote public awareness and participation in the collection of such materials."

SH Historical Society to publish new book . . .The Society has contracted with Arcadia Publishing Company (http://www.arcadiapublishing.com) to produce a volume in their "Images of America" series entitled "St. Helena". Similar books have recently been completed on Yountville and Calistoga, as well as a book titled "Napa Valley Wine Country". Our book focuses on our collection area, which coincides the the St. Helena Unified School District boundary.

This includes Rutherford,Oakville, Deer Park, Angwin, Pope Valley and Bale Mill.

Along the way we have met pioneer families who participated in the Bear Flag Revolt and who received Mexican Land Grants. We met descendants of Dr. Bale, David Hudson, John York and John Lewelling, pioneers who settled this area in the 1850s. This process has rewarding as we have met many wonderful photograph donors who have let us copy their treasures.

The book will be available for sale in May 2010.
