The Sonoma Petaluma State Historic Parks Association and the Native Daughters of the Golden West Petaluma Parlor #222 unveiled the new State Historic Landmark #18 plaque on Saturday, October 21st, 2006. Ranger Crystal Shoaf and Guide Sara M. Skinner worked for over five years on the relocation and removal of the old plaque which was outdated and contained incorrect information. We would like to thank RNM Properties and Devcon Construction for donating labor and materials to construct the historical landmark plaque wall within the park. The new wall contains the new plaque, the National Historic Landmark plaque, and a plaque commemorating the service that Donald Murphy contributed during the transfer of the property from the Native Sons of the Golden West to the State of California which was finalized in 1951. Thank you.
